Great McCartney shot. I have a companion shot by Summaria in my book.

Is Paul double-muting in that pic? ( looks like he has a big ol piece of foam stuck in front of the mute assembly)

Ccol pic(s) of him and CS.

For sure! I've seen other photos of Sir Paul using the same method.

Do you guys think he is using it in place of the Rick mute or in conjuntion with it and actually "double muting"? Would love to disuss muting and the use of the mute assembly, recently strung up 4001 w/flatwounds and am obsessed with the "Macca meets Mowtown" sounds I'm getting. Any other "Mutes" out there? Speak up :roll:
