Reggaebass Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 I clicked on this 60s precision on reverb, and omg, I can’t say I’ve ever seen a thumb rest like this 😁 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 If the trough was filled it could be reliced, but that still leaves needing to find a new scratchplate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezbass Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Definitely a trough, you can see the internal corner and the cut edge of the p/g. Given that only about half would be visible under a complete p/g and that it’s already somewhat battered elsewhere, a colour matched, fill block wouldn’t be a total necessity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
