Gruv Gear Fump Bridge-Side String Dampener
Gruv Gear Fump String Dampener: Palm Muted Bass Tone (Minus The Palm)
Free up your muting palm and discover a new path to the old school. The Gruv Gear Fump is a simple muting device that slides over the strings against the bridge of your 4- or 5-string electric bass to instantly recreate that sweet staccato sound - without using your palm!
Achieve Classic Muted Tones Instantly
The Gruv Gear Fump allows you to achieve the coveted "old school" muted or upright tone without the need for traditional palm muting techniques. This device is perfect for bassists looking to explore new techniques while maintaining the classic staccato sound. It’s an ideal solution for players who have previously used foam under the strings to mute their bass.
Easy Installation and Versatile Use
One of the main advantages of the Fump is its ease of use. It takes only a second to slide on or off your bass strings, unlike the cumbersome and time-consuming old cut foam solution. The Fump can be inserted from the top or bottom and requires only 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space between the pickup and bridge, making it highly versatile and easy to install.
Convenient and Practical Design
The Fump is designed with convenience in mind. It has no moving parts, ensuring durability and reliability. When not in use, it clips onto your strap or music stand, keeping it within easy reach for when you need it again. The Fump works best when the string fingerboard setup has little to no radius, ensuring optimal performance and sound quality.
Built for Bassists
Born from the success of Gruv Gear's FretWraps and numerous requests from players, the Fump is a must-have accessory for bassists looking to enhance their playing experience. While mastering proper palm muting is always encouraged, the Fump opens up new possibilities and gives your hands the freedom to "dig in" and explore new playing techniques.
