Another way (or a complimentary way), is developing a staccato attack with the fretting hand, releasing the pressure as soon as a note is played. This helps when playing with a 45 degree angle (a technique that facilitates speed, but not pick muting - although I've seen shred players mute that way). At least that's the way I've always tried to do it! To me palm muting gives a different sound..

Indeed if one cares then she/he can do something for things go to a direction. Things not just happen.

I think a wood bridge would be thunkier than a TOM.
