    Question Dumb question...Thumb rest/rail

    Hello Fellow Kitters,
    The PB4 build continues apace.....I suppose the weather will improve and allow the DB Nullarbor Ochre to fully cure...eventually...
    Question is, why did the early Fender P Bass have a thumb rest/rail positioned below the strings (looking from the playing position - see the picture 1959 P Bass)? Is it a thumb rest?
    I would have thought the thumb rest would would be above the strings. Obviously I'm missing something here, but what is it?
