small piece of wood, and attach it with 2 small screws. or double sided tape, if you don't want to screw into the body. Just a small version of the standard Fender thumbrest.

I used a toothbrush stick glued with a double sided tape. Looks terrible but works OK. Currently I'm thinking on making a ramp (Like Garry Willis has on his signature bass) to ease double-thumping and to rest my thumb on while playing fingerstyle.
