What kind of foam is used for a mute? Where do you get it?

I *think* it's a high density foam rubber... but I'm not sure and I have no idea where to get it.

I've used all sorts of random chunks of foam and rubber as a mute. Swap out on your personal preference

Some basses and guitars, notably older Fenders, came with a bridge cover that included a mute. I assume they worked much like a palm mute, but I'm not entirely certain, I've never seen one in action.

Oh..seen pics of the covers, didn't realise there was foam under there though! Learn something every day, cheers Wink

I don't think all of them did, but some. A lot of them were just simply covers.
