4 Strings Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hi, I remember someone on here was able to replace the foam mutes on their old MM bass. Can anyone remember this, or help with a source for these? I now they're not made from magic sponge or anything, but close to original would be great. I need 8. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingus Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I think Strings And Things ( EBMM U.K importer ) can supply repacements . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4 Strings Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Good idea, thanks, just sent them an email. I'm sure there was someone else who supplied them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingus Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Maybe The Bass Doctor up in Newcastle can help ? Just a thought . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Mousemat cut up is the normal trick but I found some childrens foam stamp kits in a pound shop, cut them up, glued them on job done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime_BASS Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Mark at bass-direct supplied me some a while back, not too sure anymore. £25 though, but you get the assably with the grub screws also(not just foam) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles'tone Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 The sticky-back foam window insulation you can get from B&Q does the job perfectly too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4 Strings Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Fixed it for now. Asked the wife who mentioned the sticky foam things that I put under the chair legs on the laminate floor. Perfect! Quite hard and very sticky, simply cut to shape. I'll post a pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4 Strings Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 Helpful response from Strings and Things (item code is M05502) but quoting £22.95. Chair pads it is, I'm afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I think as Prime said you get the spring plate and 4 thumb turns with that though to be fair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
