I was checking out another site and stumbled on to this picture. It shows a very cool bass dampener. I was unfamiliar with it and figured I'd post it here to get a bit of history out of youze guyze.
I can see from the cat that the Horst Link Sig kit has a similar damp but it doesn't look quite the same ... and it uses regular felty stuff.
Pretty cool item.
Thats` the big as bulky one from the early Champions, Phonics and maybe but not sure late Teardrop !!
You can put what ever you want between the wooden halfrounds !!
3" wide felt strip would do a better job. That's an amazing gizmo but, overkill.
I wonder how much more resonance killing weight it adds to the Bass.
That thing would clean a huge pipe...........Party

Oddball, Is right this was on the Champions and Phonics sets.But as far as i know never were on late Teardrop sets i have seen..I have a few phonics sets they do have the muffler.All i can say it looks good on the drum i have removed them from the bass.To me that muffler set up is overkill.Made the drum sound very flat.You just need a 3" felt on the head....Mikey
I'll bet it made it easy to get that "cardboard" sound, I used to tune up to. It might have been designed by a violinist...
