Zero mod thumbrest

[lowmid1]

So far I am really liking this!

 

[scourgeofgod]

I haven't seen that before, that's cool

 

[70'sRockChild]

Very nice. Did you buy it or make it?

 

[70'sRockChild]

Nevermind. I get it now, Zero mod is the product
name.

I'm just gonna buy a piece of half-round clear acrylic pipe from a hobby shop

They make thumbrests for ric's, stingray's, jazz basses and p basses.

Nice find! If they would have had this when i started out, i would probably still have my Stingray.

I am pretty sure the manufacturer of these is a TBer. Good idea if you like to play by the neck. I mount my thumbrests near the bridge, so they need mods.

 

[Mustang Surly]

Very cool idea!

A pretty specific FYI: the precision version doesn't work with gold anodized pickguards. It needs the thickness of a standard P guard to stay in place.

Yup, its @groucho and he's a great guy too.

I've got a Ric zero mod rest en route at the moment, can't wait to install it! He needs to get a Sterling model too.

I'm still trying to figure out how to mount a thumb rest by my P p-up. It's too far away when I leave enough room for the ears to come up.

I used to depend on a thumb rest but, I find that I no longer need it. Once a person has played bass for awhile, it's time to forgo the training wheels and just play.

Playing 25+ years. Still using my training wheels, and quite regularly, too.

I'm one of those former guitar players who use a pick and always will...but I think these thumbrests are great!

 

[nashman]

My zero mod thumb rests are the second (neck) pup on my HH Ray and American Standard P.

Yeah, same here nearly 30 years in. I'm just a slow learner I guess. Either that or I suck...

Too bad I can't "just play".

Yep...It's me

A "micro company" (me and my wife) and our Machine Shop guy.

Still developing model ideas so feel free to suggest them!


THANKS "lowmid1" for posting the pic.

Stingray 5 version is almost done. (being prototype tested now)
Got one for Fender Jaguar coming out...
And a direct replacement for stock Fender rests that is lower profile.
Also a Bongo version in the works.

We may be able to help you.

We are working on a "low rider" version of the P rest!
The one we have now locates just like a regular Fender, but guys have asked me about
one that can sit lower. The trick is making it adhere to the ZM philosophy "no new holes"

But I can ping you when it does happen.

That would be awesome! Something that sits closer to the bridge and about 18mm away from the E would be excellent. Then it would be in the same position as a B string on a 5er.
