mcnach Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) This one is made of some sort of metal. Probably not "made" as such, but rather a piece of metal that the previous owner of one of my OLPs saw and thought "hey, I can use that!". He used it as a thumbrest at the P position in the OLP. Whilst if I rest my thumb, I tend to like going closer to the bridge, around the MM or even bridge J position. I put this one on a P-bass a while ago, and I really like playing using it, on P-basses. It's merely attached with double-sided tape (thanks apa! ), it holds really well and leaves *no* residue afterwards. (Edit: I left the "no" out before, woops!) The problem is, I only have this one. I would like 2-3 more. Metal like this one works well. Wood would do too. My woodworking skills are too poor... does anybody know where I could get this thing replicated? or maybe even someone here can? Edited June 2, 2012 by mcnach Quote

apa Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) If Rich doesnt then pop it in the post and Ill have a few made for you Jose (Im being serious btw) Erm hows that piece of ebony doing these days? A Oh and dont you mean "leaves NO residue"!! Edited June 2, 2012 by apa Quote
mcnach Posted June 2, 2012 Author Posted June 2, 2012 INdeed! I just edited it.. it does NOT leave any residue. Thank you! That piece of ebony... is HARD! That's all I can say. In fact I thought of trying to use it for this (since it was meant to make a thumbrest to start with, just a simpler style one)... but I started playing with another lump of wood and the results were pretty disappointing so I'm not destroying that lovely wood you gave me erm, you know what I mean!
