tonyf Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Having become quite the p-bass guy in recent times, have been loving the flat-mute thing and spotted a YT video a while ago with Sean Hurley and a strange mute thing on his precision. Having googled it, it appeared to be a Fender Jaguar mute, added at some point. There were some posts on other forums and websites so, whilst I was on holiday over the past few weeks in the States, I ordered one to bring back, avoiding the postage and import taxes. Here's the bits and pieces.... So, made a start, using the good old dining room table. Here's the before shot... Strings came off, marked the screw holes and I measured the spring/plunger to find out what drill I needed. Found it was 13mm so had an emergency trip to B&Q. Deep breath, drill out and here we go..... Plunger in and tested the depth, needed to drill a little deeper that the guestimated 34mm from the guide. Screwed into the body, mute pads on, strings on and some tweaks and it's all together. This shows it pushed up into mute mode, bit of settling in and realising I don't need to fully push it down, the muting is variable based on how much I need. Looks really good, works great. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duroc17 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Nice brave move - Please tell me this now makes the bass sound like Sean Hurley? I think that video has the best P tone ever - he's such a tasteful player - I want to do this but i'm afraid i'd slip and ruin bass 🙂 :-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
