Ideas on a ramp/thumb rest?

so this goes over a DS pickup?

if so, cool idea, even though it totally destroys the look of a darkstar...can you make it out of acrylic and still include the chrome pickup ring?....purely for aesthetics, of course...

 

I did look at the thread, it was a bit ambiguous to me...sorry for the confusion...

I think acrylic is the way to go....that black square doesn't do much for the looks of the decade IMO...

 

I dont get it, four strings on a five string Bass? ok sorry. I agree with Pilbara, Acrylic, black square is kinda dull looking.

 

I have to agree with those who say it's a bit.........distracting from the bass.
Acrylic might be one route, but I see that getting scratched pretty fast...... how about Chrome? More bling is always good, right? LOL.
Or Gold? Aluminum?

 

It's still a work in progress, but I made a first attempt with an acrylic sheet (about 3/8" thick):






I still need to round the corners and smooth, bevel, and polish the edges.

Then I would need to decide how to mount it with either screws or clear double sided tape.

I'm just using a hack saw, a metal file, and my Dremel tool.

 

oh yes....the acrylic looks much nicer....it'll be killer when you get the edges bevelled and polished...

mounting will be a problem, won't it...screws are too "permanent"...
how about 4 smallish circular pieces of clear double-sided tape, neatly arranged on the corners? you'll see them, but they won't be distracting
