Foam Bob Mute Pants!

[Psychicpet]

Guys(and gals),
I stuffed some foam under the strings of my SR5 last night for a more rootsy duo gig and the tone was killer....... it'd sure be nice to see the foam mutes come back on regular Rays and the 5ers too!
But you gotta try it once if you've never tried it, you get a cool vibey-ness out of it that works well with singer/songwriter stuff. Fun.

Interesting... Did you put it right under the strings at the saddles?

 

[jubjub721]

yeah
saddles or strings?

I just bunched up the foam under the strings right up against the saddles, look at some old StingRay photos and see the placement of the mutes on the old style bridge.
