Wolf Eliminator for Double Bass

A simple adjustable solution for controlling unwanted double bass wolf tones

The Wolf Eliminator for Double Bass is a traditional string-mounted accessory designed to reduce troublesome wolf tones and improve response around the affected pitch. Wolf tones occur when a played note interacts strongly with the instrument's natural resonance, often producing an unstable, pulsing, or resistant sound under the bow. Adding a properly positioned wolf eliminator to the string afterlength can modify this resonance and help make the problem note more manageable.

Made from nickel with a chrome-plated finish, this double bass wolf eliminator uses a lock nut to hold it securely in position once adjusted. Its placement on the afterlength between the bridge and tailpiece can be changed to find the position that most effectively controls the individual instrument's wolf. Because wolf behavior varies from bass to bass, some experimentation with placement may be necessary. The compact mechanical design provides bassists with a straightforward, adjustable approach to wolf-tone control without permanently modifying the instrument.
