I cut a step in the underside of the thumbrest and mounted it half on and half off the scratchplate above the strings, right between the bridge and the pickup, almost touching the pickup lugs. I have since done this mod to every P or PJ bass I have owned but not seen it done by anyone else.

I've got a similar set-up on my P copy.
The rest touches the rear of the pup casing,and the top edge is in line with the top of the pup.
I did this to my Status,but it was in front this time.
