Gibson 1967 EB2. Had it 40 years. Still does the business.

How Long by Ace. Bass intro, nuff said.

Marshall 400W stereo head into a Thor 2 x 15 cab. Cab weighed a ton but that rig fairly blew my trouser legs about.

Thanks Thanks, glad it worked for you but I'll keep looking for something like the Zero Mod or make my own using existing screw holes. Not keen on using glue or double sided tape on the scratchplate.

Good thinking, thanks but that's not where I naturally play. Hopefully that'll help others with the same problem though.

Thanks Jeff, I'll have a look.

Good shout, I'll have a think about that. Cheers mate.

Hey there, I've just acquired a new Jazz Bass which came without a thumb rest or the holes for same and I don't want to make any. I've seen the Zero Mod version and don't fancy that. I remember seeing another which works on the same principle but can't find it anywhere now. It just had two...
