Here is how to add a no-damage thumb rest to any Fender bass. This one is made from a piece of maple scrap and two SS screws from the hardware store. You can wrap the original screws in tape and store them in the control cavity. Walnut also makes nice thumb rests. Just a few minutes on the belt sander.

I loves me my thumb rests, I never got the hang of using the E string.

Back in the way early days, this was an effect that could be implemented very inexpensively using the often-unused half of a pre-amp tube in an amp. This made it a popular feature for amp manufacturers, which in turn led to its use by musicians, especially back when there were basically no other effects.
