half opened/(my spell check won't let me type co@ked) Wah through a slap back echo into something clean with a little splash of reverb
I started doing this looking to proximate early Miles Davis' tone Example Relax'in with the Miles Davis Quintet (1956)
He used Horn mutes extensively. (love is early stuff) Now it's a staple of my sound, I play with guitar's volume and tone knobs (on a telecaster) to get the "pulling the mute away from the horn" vibe. I'm big into vintage tones (or sounding vintage as possible) and this sits right in the pocket of old school bebop, old school jazz. On the neck pup, it's almost like your playing an arch top going for that wooly thing.
Give it a try if your into playing Jazz... IMO sounds great in a mix with traditional Jazz instruments Horns, pianos, upright base etc
