No holes Thumb-rest - where can I get one?

[Marc S]

I've got an Ibanez Electro-acoustic bass, that I absolutely love
It sounds a tad different to other bass guitars
And feels quite different in many ways....

The deep body, with it's hard edges can tend to "dig" into my forearm a bit
But my real problem with it, is when playing finger-style playing
There's nowhere to rest my thumb
I sometimes use the E string, when playing the other 3 strings
and I sometimes use the heel of the neck

I don't want to go drilling into the hollow body of this bass
It looks superb as it is.... and I don't want to risk ruining it by drilling holes...

Anyhow, my question is this;
I'm sure I've seen self-adhesive type thumb-rests
But can't find any for sale anywhere (I have searched ebay)

Anyone know where I can get them?
Or should I just get some self-adhesive pads, and stick a thumb-rest on?

Cheers
Marc

There was a Kala on the marketplace wIth little adhesive kidney shaped pads that looked pretty handy

Edit, it was the Bass Buddy system

If you want to buy one - try GuyLewis http://www.classicguitarboxes.com/thumb_rests.php but the website or server seems to be down at the mo.

I don't know if Zero-Mod products do any stick on rests, but it might be worth asking.

I have one of their screw on ones that uses the existing scratchplate holes.
