ERNIE BALL, the top brand in guitar and bass strings, introduces six new accessories designed to support tone shaping and noise reduction! These groundbreaking items solve common problems for guitarists and bassists in any situation—studio sessions, live performances, or home recording—and expand your playing possibilities.
The Mute Noodle series is a new concept in muting accessories, designed to be placed between the bridge and the strings. It moderately dampens string vibration, achieving a warm, intimate, mellow tone reminiscent of using a rubber bridge (for guitar) or foam mute (for bass). It’s perfect for players seeking vintage sounds or a softer tone.
The String Dampener series is a line of accessories designed to effectively eliminate unwanted overtones and noise, improving clarity and sustain. It’s essential when you want to suppress extraneous string noise, such as during recording, live performances, or tapping techniques.
The lineup includes three types: the “Guitar Tailpiece,” which reduces unwanted resonance and harmonics between the bridge and ball ends; the “Guitar Tremolo,” which minimizes unwanted harmonics by covering the tremolo springs; and the “Guitar Headstock,” which suppresses unwanted noise and sympathetic resonance generated near the nut.
Also not to be missed is the “Pickholder - Guitar Headstock,” an accessory that attaches to the headstock for convenient pick storage.
All these accessories are made from a soft, durable rubber material and are easy to attach and remove. They allow anyone—from professional studio musicians to home recorders and live players—to easily expand their tone-control options. Be sure to check them out!
