Bass Thumb Rest
Welcome to my site! We have the Bass Thumb Rest information that you are looking for.
Is it safe to add a thumb rest to my bass guitar?
I just bought a fender 51 precision bass and I can't rest my thumb on the pickup. The pickup doesnt stick out far enough. I was wondering would drilling 2 holes to add a thumb rest affect the sound? Also, is there a chance that I would drill a hole and hit a wire or part of the electronics?
it shouldn't affect then sound at all really. if you drill into the body above the pickup there really wouldn't be any wiring concerns. you might try epoxy to attach a thumb rest, if you're worried about keeping it as original as you can if it's actually a 1951 p-bass. in that case i would get another pickguard and attach the rest to that one and put the original one away

Ton Kooiman Professional Thumb Rest $189.99 KOOIMAN THUMB RESTSWHY THESE NEW THUMB RESTS?This universally adjustable thumb rest makes it possible to put the pressure point of the thumb rest from the first phalanx of the thumb to the space between the two joints. The lever momentum is much smaller at this point so the thumb can support the weight more easily. Much of the energy used for supporting the weight then becomes available for handling the instrument, and can be used to improve control and speed up playing technique.HOW IT WORKSIn order to achieve a relaxed posture of the hand, the Kooiman thumb rests are movable in all directions and can be adjusted to suit the anatomy each individual musician's thumb and hand. A direct and positive effect on the freedom of movement of the entire hand (and especially of the ring finger and little finger) will be gained by the improved position of the thumb in relation to the instrument. This is achieved by means of a hollow-shaped casing that can be adjusted from left to right (Maestro), or by means of a hollow-shaped casing that is raised at a certain angle (Etude). In this way the hand is allowed to "open" and, as a result, will be more relaxed. From now on, inflammation of the tendons or fatigue in hand, arm or neck may be easily prevented. |
