I’m currently in the market for a new bass straight mute. Not really interested in going somewhere and testing a bunch out, but I might try something like that if it comes to it. What’s your alls favorite bass straight mutes? I currently have a dennis wick. Nothing wrong with it, just want an upgrade.

You're assuming that there's something much better than a Denis Wick bass mute.

I have a Protec all-aluminum bass mute. I can't say it's better or worse than a Wick. It plays OK in the trigger range and will develop a bright buzz if pushed loudly. Its shape superficially resembles an oversize Crown, but not so polished, and the corks are thinner.
