This is what I do in case you haven't tried it. I use a relaxed or less arched left hand to quiet the G to whatever string you're playing at the time The thumb, hand pad, pinky and ring finger of the right hand to quiet the B through playing string. Didn't need to do it much with a 4 string but when I switched to a 5 it definitely needed it. Also helps when transitioning from Jazz to slap or funk for variety.
