Lego thumb rest

Gear

Hi,
Needed thumb rest / reference point for mij p bass for plucking between the Pickup and neck but found the fender ones a bit to high and short so I got this…
A Lego technic beam is lower and longer so I can rest my thumb on the E string when needed and cost 0,45 Eur at the local Lego store :wink:
Here it is:

You have combined two amazing things to make a more amazing thing.
Well done, I say.

If Lego knows about this it will be $10 easily, lol.

That reminds me that i have to adjust my 5 string… i haven’t adjusted it in over 2 years and all my basses needed some adjustments when i moved in May 2022. I looked last week and the B string is barely within walking distance :laughing: I’m going to 3D print a ramp for that bass, soon™ :smile:

I like the idea, but I find the fact that it’s not absolutely parallel to the E string triggering… :woozy_face: :wink:

I might have gone with hot pink to really make it pop off the pick guard. I love this idea though. I wish I had a bass that had a pick guard that let me do something like this.
