Has the material used to make the mute pad always been foam rubber?
I could be wrong, but it seems like I remember my '72 having a felt material for the mute pad??

Mute Material?

It's always been neoprene, never felt. It's the center cutout from the guitar pickup mounting ring.

Wow! Thanks John!
How efficient. That's what I call making good use of time AND material.

It seems like the stuff in the 70's was a different density though. While utilizing the cut out piece from the guitar pads is a good idea, the piece ends up being too wide and "poofy". If they were neatly cut in half, they'd be the same size the early ones were and less..."poofy". I get two bass mute pads by cutting the sides of the guitar pickup foam. I also have the mute bar chrome plated.johnhall wrote:It's always been neoprene, never felt. It's the center cutout from the guitar pickup mounting ring.
