Greco RB700n. 1979

Hi, I had this Greco delivered today after a 3 month wait as it bobbed about the Pacific then the Atlantic. I'm in the process of stripping her down, cleaning and fixing a few issues. I'm mostly there. She Just required some deep cleaning of the vol/tone controls and switch. Tomorrow i'll clean up of the metal parts, add new string and set her up.

 

It would appear this bass hasn't been played in decades going by the amount of gunk, junk, dead skin and dead spiders hiding within. My question is in regard to the bass mute sponge. Should it be hard or soft?. I'm guessing soft.

 

I mute appears to work? but it's hard and brittle. After 40 odd years it seems to have deteriorated or was the foam hard from the get go?.
