Mute Pictures
Greetings readers! Pete Tambroni from MostlyBass.com and a wonderfully wintery Chicago!
Here are some pictures of my clamp mute in both practice and performance mode. See – I wasn’t kidding! It really does work well. Here’s a link to them at Home Depot. I did bend the tips a bit so they have more contact with the bridge.

Of course an ebony mute works great. But, the clamp is about $2, doesn’t fall off (I’ve had problems with ebony mutes coming loose), and it doesn’t damage the bridge. It’s just a fun, cheap alternative.
