I have a friend (Pete Curry, bassist/recording engineer in Los Straitjackets) who put down a cork floor (over concrete) in his studio. Sounds pretty good---cuts down on reflections, but is not too dead. So Geoff, how come no likey lead as mass damper? I'm about to put some little stick-on lead weights (like for wheel balancing) on the counterweight of my pickup arm to increase it's mass (so's it can be closer to the arm's pivot, thereby lowering it's effective mass). No?
