ped Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Check out the ‘zero mod’ ones, assuming you want it thumb side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiOgon Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) I've bought them from Guy Lewis, beautifuly hand made and very reasonable prices - UK. I think he's at customguitarboxes.com or similar.

Grangur Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I recently made one as a thumb rest, from ebony, for another BCer. The obvious problem with a 1 screw mount tug bar is it can swivel. So it can't be very long because, as it gets longer, leverage increases. If you want it purely for show, there's no problem at all though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzmaster62 Posted May 19, 2019 Author Share Posted May 19, 2019 Does anyone know what size screw is normally used to secure the thumb rest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcnach Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I've been using heavy duty double-sided sticky tape to fix metal and plastic thumbrests to basses for a few years now. It's strong enough that it won't come off during use, but if you want to remove it you can, with some effort and patience, and leave no marks whatsoever. This is one of the metal ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
