About the BassMute

The BassMute is a promising, fast and easy to use muting system for bassguitars. It is fully adjustable and with a simple move of your finger you can switch between normal and muted sound. It doesn't affect your playing speed and when adjusted properly, your muted sound will stay the same whenever you switch it on.
The BassMute can be fixed easily onto your bass between the bridge and bridge pick-up. You can switch between two different positions for muting. The distance between the mutes is fully adjustable to match different string spacings between 16 and 20 millimeter.

The rubber foam of the mutes has been customized for each string individually to virtually eliminate pitch shift. The overall construction allows a very easy disassembly of the BassMute in case replacement of the rubber foam ever becomes necessairy.

How does the BassMute function?

When you have installed The BassMute onto your bass, it should be located under the strings close to the bridge with the part of the mutes above the axle potruding in between of the strings.

When everything has been setup and adjusted according to the manual, the only thing you have to do is to flip the lever. This engages the axle with the mutes to move towards the strings.The rubber foam will run into the strings, creating the muted sound with the lever in its first stop. You even can push the lever to its second stop to increase the muting effect.

If you like to switch back to your normal sound, just simply flip the lever back to the zero position. That's all there is to it ! Even in the middle of a song you can switch to and from the muted sound at any time.
