I find the number of variables in mutes so frustrating! I've settled on NordyMutes & rather than fit it 'perpendicular' I angle the foam so it travels along the strings, pointing towards the nut. Also, sitting deeper on lower strings & barely touching on the higher. No mods needed, removable, reasonably easy to recreate, and about the best I've found for a not-overkill & consistent muting across the strings without too negative an impact on intonation. I can recommend experimenting with the "Danny Mo Morris" 2nd+3rd+4th fingers on fretting hand technique, and just a simple "immediately release the pressure to stop notes sustaining"... though it takes far more patience and practice to master than I have 😢

+1 for Strings Direct, they've been my go to for years - great turnaround, great customer service whenever I've messed up orders, good stock, fair prices 👍

I downsized from a SuperTwin... mistake!... they are wonderful. I found it way more efficient with low frequenices than generic cabs, I had to roll my amp's bass right back - maybe your "go to" EQ needs to be very different with other cabs? (e.g. boosting bass to get to your usual levels w/ BF which will balance those tops?)

Well, Bristol. Hello. I'm trying my best to be a good boy & learn to play jaaazzzz, but I can't help looking at all that lovely gear for sale 😍
