In the book and accompanying cd "Standing in the Shadows of Motown", several of the artists dampen their strings to get the James Jamerson sound. Jamerson kept the pickup cover on, and I believe it had some felt in it that dampened the strings.

You've got to know your limitations. I don't know what your limitations are. I found out what mine were when I was twelve. I found out that there weren't too many limitations, if I did it my way. -Johnny Cash
