Not sure how many pages back but someone in the group made one for a different position to achieve the same thing you're looking for. I believe he carved it from wood and painted it.

Unfortunately I don't have those skills, but thanks for the suggestions.

With as much pickup shuffling that's happening I’m surprised someone hasn’t marketed a dummy pickup for this situation by now. You could even design a little compartment...put your weed or an emergency $20 bill in there lol!

It was for me at first
Standing I tend to play like Robert Deleo from STP so it helps to take care of the problem not having to stretch out as much.
Also I was looking into Torzal basses for a bit there but I find this really helps for wrist angle holding the bass more upright for both wrists.

Sitting down it still can be a little bit of a pain, I'm actually getting my older combustion adjusted at the nut a little so its lower.

I had to look up who Robert is. Yes, that standing position he is in with his bass, kinda like a fireman holding the battle axe on his way to smash in the door to the fire, was most interesting. I just need to experiment with different bass positions to find something that really works out in a practical sense of fretting notes rather than to maybe want to play like the Metallica bass player now, with his bass slung low and all cool looking. The time to begin is now. I never stood up once yet and played, in 4.4 years. Not once. Need a strap first.

So when I bought my Dingwall from Bass Central in Florida, he (Grasshopper) asked me over the phone if I wanted 'something about a Paul Farrow'. I said, 'who is Paul Farrow?". Really, no joke. He says no, do I want the neck a Pau Ferro. I said what is that (really, for real again). He went on to explain about the wood and how much it cost extra. I said, are you kidding, why would I want to pay extra to have the beautiful light color of the fret board covered up. The light color of the neck was my #1 want in a new bass. So now that I have that, it is getting dirty from my fingers. I have read here one poor soul cleaned his Dingwall neck with something that took the Dingwall sticker off of it and I don't want to do anything like that, so if someone can suggest something (chemical/cleaner/whatever) I can use with a cloth to clean the fret-board and entire light colored neck, that would be great. I am a person who believes in horsepower to get the job done, so I'm not into just using water, please suggest something with 'kick' in it to clean my neck really good but not wreck it. Thanks! And AB Nate, I been itching to ask you what your picture is. I see either 2 dolphins/porpoises one time and then I see what looks like someone being suffocated by saran wrap other times. What gives?

Dunlop makes some good products for cleaning. I’ve used the Ken smith lemon oil and have had great results with zero issue on maple. It seems to pull out contaminant s really well but bummer, I can’t find it locally anymore.

my avatar used to be a half Canadian flag and half assault rifle that said no compromise underneath. It meant to me that I am a proud Canadian and I believe in and will fight for my liberties as a Canadian..... someone cried about it I guess and the mods removed it.

the new avatar is me being silenced from saying what I’d really like to here. I understand time and place but I honestly didn’t think that being a proud Canadian who believes in freedom would something I would get censored for.
