This is a helpful piece of oval tape for a matte finish. The Thumbfin just wouldn’t stay on without this. You could use a piece of packing tape if you want to save a few bucks.
I like the fact that this lets you experiment with different positions, although I found I had a bit of difficulty adjusting to the height. I'd prefer something very low-profile, comparable to the height of the pickup, since I'm used to essentially using the pickup as a thumb rest. I also found I had some issues with the suction cups sticking well, but I think I was just being a bit too hasty applying it.
Bonus points here for excellent customer service! I ran into some issues with the first one I received (and frankly, I was kind of rude about it) but they were very helpful and patient in providing a solution for me.
Just what I had been looking for, looks great on my music man short scale. Very pleased
I have a Hofner Violin bass and it just can’t be played finger style without this.
Love this product. it makes you play bass so much better. I have the thumb fin on my Rickenbacker. ..........and you believe it I have 2 on my Stienberger.5 string.
both anchor so well no problems!
