Do you crave that thumpy 60's Carol Kaye flatwounds-with-felted-bridge sound but hate the look of having random pieces of foam/felt taped or wedged into your bridge?

For certain kinds of bridges often found on Epi/Gibson style basses (e.g., this bridge: allparts.com/BB-0333-001-3-Point-Bass-Bridge_p_566.html ), I designed a slide-on bass mute. Just print 'er up, stick some felt/foam along the inside top, and slide it on! It's not exactly "pretty" but it's not bad, and (perhaps more importantly) it does work...

I dunno what kinds of tolerances these things run, so please measure and scale up the dimensions accordingly BEFORE you print. The files I uploaded here, assuming nothing strange happened to the dimensions during export, happen to fit snugly on my Epi Jack Casady (basically a re-issue les paul signature) bass...

also, included is a "no-logo" version so you can stick whatever else you might want to stick on there. have fun!

oh PS i also added a photo of what it looks like when you zap it with some filler primer and chrome paint....

PPS i got greedy and pulled the mute back off of the bass to give it more and more coats of paint - the last shot is the most recent - look how nice and smooth it is getting!
