Title: I need a fairly easy favor ,of sorts.
Post by: shadowcastaz on March 10, 2011, 07:27:56 PM

Im restoring a pretty Epi newport & I was going to  forget the mute. I mean really . Then I got to thinking I dont have a bass with a mute, so I scraped together  pieces & parts . I have  1 & about a third, almost! . The part that holds the felt has eluded me.It should be easy enough to duplicate I  just need  the width of the bar  & the height ( dimensions ) of the felt. This really is gonna be a sweet bass.
Gweimer , Im making a patern for the PG this weekend . Thanx again . I hope all is  well @ home . M

I think I have one if it is the metal t-shaped piece the felt sits on.

A number of years back, we made up a few of these, many mutes seem to have them missing. I just checked & I have one extra, if this is what you need, PM me your address & I'll send it to you.

Someday, and that day may never come, I'll call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day – accept this BASS MUTE PIECE as a gift on my daughter's wedding day.
