U bass thumb rest.
Great product. Adhesive does not hold to thumb rest. A drop of glue fixes this.

I like that there were 3 different types of thumbrests in the package. I didn't like that they came on a single strip of adhesive, requiring you to cut around the thumbrest to remove the one you want. But once removed from the strip, it was an easy install (just peel the backing from the adhesive and stick it where you want). I was worried that the adhesive wouldn't be strong enough to handle the pressure that might be exerted on it, but it holds perfectly. I think waiting 24 hours before playing after installing the thumbrest helped the adhesive to set properly (although the instructions say 8 hours is adequate). All in all, I really like it.
A great product for the U-Bass. Though it is a small instrument, it is nice to have additional places to anchor your thumb. They are comfortable to use. I did have one fall off and thank goodness our vocalist had some nail glue with her. The adhesive back stayed on the instrument and just the thumbrest fell off. A couple drops of nail glue on the adhesive back and I was back in business. No notes missed ;-)
I usually rest my thumb on my pickup, so these thumbrests are a perfect solution.
Just what I needed to add something close to electric bass style when I need it. Great product.
