I play mine in a blues band for acoustic sessions.[/quote] Got to agree with this man - Ashbury's have the sound you're after without any of the messing about. Also you can pick one up for less than £200 on eBay ( [b]I can't believe that I'm recommending eBay!!! [/b] ) with a spare set of strings, bag, etc. However they do take a bit of getting used to..[size=1]tiny little frets[/size]...but it may be worth the effort if this is the sound you're after. Maybe a BCer will lend you one or allow you to try theirs... If you're in Herts/North London give me a PM for a tester.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2112 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Buy a double bass! In all seriousness, I'd be looking at Pyramid flats and some right hand near the neck action. I'm not sure mutes are needed in the grand scheme of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faithless Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Use your thumb and mute the strings with your palm. Or, if you're too lazy, something like this may also work... : [url="http://plixi.com/p/64035135"]http://plixi.com/p/64035135[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truckstop Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I'm actually trying to find a set of mutes to fit to the Jazz, but all I can find is a set of 4 from Allparts for £30 but there's no picture and I'm not sure if they're the ones I'm thinking of! Anyone know where I can get a set? Truckstop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
