2x18 Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Never seen a rest in this position before! ( 2nd Photo ) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Jazz-Bass-/272057238720?hash=item3f57e004c0:g:17AAAOSwHQ9WVuIn Will. Quote
Mykesbass Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Can see some sense in that - if the original player was used to anchoring their thumb on say a Musicman pick-up then that could be the right place. Does look odd though! Quote
cameltoe Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 Looks like they've been playing it like an upright! Quote
alyctes Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 That might be someone who wants a very specific position for their thumb, so they've put the thumbrest in exactly the right place. Quote
Happy Jack Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 It's an aid to slapping. People see where he's put it, and they want to slap him. Quote

paulnb57 Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 Could it possibly act as a sort of ramp as well as a thumb rest? Quote
