What is the rest used for when its positioned by the lower horn? I've seen the rest near the upper horn for the thumb, but why would it be on bottom?

You hook your fingers under it and play with your thumb.

that is a beautiful bass. Theres something about the shape of the body and the pickguard that I really really like. The strings look cool as well. it just looks so good

Great collection Funkster. If it's not too OT, how do the three basses compare?

Oh I recently pulled out the BassPlayer with Pino Palladino on the cover to look at a transcription and saw your profile (with the '83 P?). Nice!
