Fender Jazz Bass Mutes “Jonesy” STAGGERED Felt Mutes Reproduction THUD MUFFINS

Description: This set has the felt length cut to gradually shorter lengths going up to the high string, this was a modification seen on many old sets! Reproduction “Jazz Bass”-style felt mutes handmade in the USA like the originals. These will give your bass a wooly thud like no foam mute ever could, as the felt softly hugs the strings rather than simply pushing up against them. If you have ever wanted that first Zeppelin album’s bass sound, felt mutes were what John Paul Jones had equipped. these can be adjusted by sliding closer or further away from the bridge and adjusted for pressure and string contact by bending down. The felt slot will naturally break in with play and soften the muting further, however you can also deepen the slot manually with a sawing motion on a string to fine tune intonation. Check out Danny Sapkos video featuring a set of Thud Muffins muted for a good sound comparison!
