Ordered this for my Jag Bass. Perfect rest for my thumb while working through material. I cannot recommend this enough.
At first look, I was not convinced. Two little suction cups, will they be stable enough? My first trial said no. I tried it on my Epiphone Violin Bass directly on the polyester finish. The suction cups moved and didn’t stick for a complete song. Then I used a little moisture on them and cleaned the surface before applying pressure. That was 3 days ago and it hasn’t budged! I get greater articulation and tone now, not to mention comfort. This is just the thing needed when you have a smooth clean surface to position it on and don’t want to drill or glue a thumb ramp.
I have an Ibanez 1420b bass, I did not want to drill into my bass so I looked for other options. I was referred this from some fellow bass players. At first I didn’t have success with it because my bass is low gloss, but once I applied the contact paper it has stayed put! It feels so comfortable. I was having an issue of my thumb really digging into the pickup so I had to do something about it it before ruining my bass. This is a great option, it’s working amazing for me! If you have a high gloss or pick guard that it will stick onto you’ll be fine, otherwise make sure to get the contact paper they sell with it!
Nice item! I like the suction cup attachment so I can put it exactly where I want with no damage to my bass.
Lots of colors available, but no purple?
With this I am off the sharp edge of a pickup, and able to hit string exactly where I want. Shipped super fast.
