What sort of wood/size etc do you want? I could make you some. Drop me a PM if you're interested.

[hagguy]

seems a far bit of effort to make them tbh
thanks for the offer tho might take you up on it

i've found these things called bass buddy don't need to
drill holes held on with some kind of adheisve
waiting for an email back bout prices, if i could get
a rest without marking up the basses thatd b ideal

A black key off a dead piano would do as a blank, they are ebony and not far off the required size.I can send you one if you fancy the diy route
