Bass thumb rests?
What are your opinions of them? I usually rest my thumb on the string next to the string I'm playing, or on the pickups if I'm playing E string. But the bass I'm using at the moment the pickups are placed really awkwardly - one set are really close to the neck and disjointed so you can't rest your thumb on the second, and the next pickup is too far away from the neck where you get that really plucky sound. I like to position my hand in-between these two spots! I'm thinking of purchasing a thumb rest to place in between the pickups. But I'm not sure... mainly because you have to screw it into the body of your bass which I'm freaking out about. I've tried floating my thumb when I play E but it's just uncomfortable and you don't get as much consistent pressure/ force. What do you guys think?
