I love the stingray single pickup but sometimes I need a deeper tone. You can pick around where a P Bass player does for a fatter sound.
Normally I would use a floating thumb technique if picking closer to the Neck. But perhaps the most amazing thing is that it helps my fingernails and knuckles get involved too.
When using a floating thumb technique, where my fingers are more curled and my wrist has to be angled differently. This device solves all those issues.
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.
