Now I can see why it's called a Precision bass.

It may just be the camera angle and the fact that you can only see half of the pup. This image looks better.

Surely an Imprecision bass?

They look like J bass covers, which are larger than those made for P basses. The one over the bridge looks ridiculous, too.

Apart from all the other extremely obvious things. I've never understood why people put thumb rests at the bottom of the strings. Surely that's an utterly pointless place.

They're tug-bars - so you can hold there whilst playing with your thumb.

I didn't even know that was a thing 😂

 

I play with my thumb on a couple of tracks and never felt the need for a tug bar. It seems a bit odd and surplus to requirements to me, but then again so do thumb rests.

They both serve no purpose for me!
