Thumb Fin...yes, you read that right, Thumb Fin!

Just seen this advertised in chrome. I've actually been looking at adding a thumb rest to a bass but I can't see anything about shipping to the UK. 

 

Loving their terms and conditions.

Came here expecting Warwick content. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

 

All jokes aside, that looks clever - but it's quite bulky! On a bass with a pickguard, I think I would prefer a Zero Mod thumbrest. They use the existing screw holes of the pickguard and / or pickups. I just feel some of them are too far away from the E-string.

Bit limiting of where you put your thumb / pluck the strings, isn't it.

 

Never used a thumb rest myself, but isn't something longer and more parallel to the strings more useable?

It's connected by suction...you can change the position.

The shape doesn't seem perfect but it should get the job done.

Thumb Fin in the way? It moves.

I would have bought one of these. $20 would have been worth a punt. But their website quoted me $60 for shipping to the UK. Add on import duty and it's definitely not worth a punt.

I have a Fender Kingman acoustic bass. As there's no pick up I'd like something to rest my thumb on without screwing or glueing it on. I'd try something like this if they weren't taking the p!ss with the shipping costs.
