Setup & Install Your Dead Ringer

Watch this 60-second setup guide to get the perfect fit and tone.

Setup & Install

1. ORIENT

The original Dead Ringer goes in either way.

On the Pro, the arrows on the sides should always point up, towards your bass strings.

2. INSERT

Slip it in sideways under your strings, just in front of your bridge.

3. TWIST

Press down gently while twisting it flat.

4. SEAT

Slide it over until it's snug against your bridge.

5. CHECK THE FIT

Strings should press firmly into the foam, not just touch it. If it feels loose, add one or more of the extra foam strips until it fits snugly.

Tip: it's better a little too tight than too loose.

6. ENJOY INSTANT
RUBBER BRIDGE TONE

Not getting the sound you expected?

Make sure the strings are pressing firmly into the top foam. If the fit feels loose or the muting isn't even, add one of the included foam strips until it fits snugly.

If you need additional foam strips, we've got you covered.
