Bass Edge Protector Set - Bumpers (Leather or Rubber)

May 18,2024

Whenever you put your bass down on its side, you risk scratches, dents, or chips - this set of 4 protectors in your choice of Brown leather or Black rubber can help reduce this damage..
Whenever you put your bass down on its side, you risk scratches, dents, or chips in the edges! Choose one of these simple sets of 4 stick-on protectors to provide bumpers or feet that will elevate the edges off the floor and keep the wood from taking on that damage. They should have no effect on your instrument's tone, due to their recommended location at the edges of your bass' side.No tools or modifications required: they are easily installed using an adhesive which is pre-applied to each pad. Note that the adhesive is designed for permanent use; as a result, removing the bumpers once the adhesive has set (about 72 hours, according to the instructions) could potentially mar or damage the finish but isn't that better than grinding the edges of your bass away?Each set of four (enough for one side of the bass) comes complete with simple instructions and an alcohol prep pad to prepare the installation locations.Simple and effective edge protection! We have two different bumper options! Leather Deluxe Bumpers The deluxe bumpers are handcrafted in soft dyed leather, which provides a softer footing between your bass and whatever surface you put it down onto. They're low profile and extremely lightweight.The leather bumpers are two-tone; they feature a warm burnished brown top finish, and the sides are dyed black to make them low-profile and classy-looking.These are specially made for Gollihur Music by a specialty leatherworker -- we even have our own exclusive die for producing them(!) -- and you can't find this exact bumper design anywhere else.Dimensions of the leather bumpers (may vary slightly, as these are hand-crafted): Thickness: 11/32nd inch/8.8mm Width: 3/8th inch/9.75mm Length: 2.45 inches/62.3mm Package includes 4 bumpers (enough for one side), alcohol cleaning pad, and instructions. Rubber Standard Bumpers The standard bumpers are crafted of 60 Durometer Neoprene Rubber, which is very dense, durable rubber which will last a very long time, but has a nice amount of give so putting the bass down on them won't transmit the shock to the instrument's ribs. Like the leather bumpers, they are backed with VHB (Very High Bond) permanent adhesive for easy (and permanent) peel-and-stick application. These are exclusively made for Gollihur Music by a specialty rubber company, and you can't find this specific bumper anywhere else.Dimensions of the rubber bumpers (may vary slightly): Thickness: 3/8 inch/9.75mm Width: 3/8th inch/9.75mm Length: 2.5 inches/64.25mm Package includes 4 bumpers (enough for one side), alcohol cleaning pad, and instructions. Will removal of these bumpers damage (or will having bumpers devalue) my instrument? The side bumpers, when installed properly, protect the instrument's edges from damage that occurs from being laid on its side on the floor. The intent is that they are permanent, meaning, that the adhesive is strong and if you change your mind about using them, there's certainly a possibility that they could leave marks or other finish damage. So it's up to you to decide whether you prefer scraping the edge finish of the bass on the floor, or the possible finish issues down the road if you remove those protective bumpers. That said, they can be removed. Plastic scrapers (they look like a plastic version of a razor blade, see one at right) are a very effective tool at removing the bumpers, should you change your mind (or need to replace one.) You can often find these scrapers at the hardware store (DON'T use a metal one, unless you truly WANT to scratch up your bass.) Any remaining adhesive can normally be rubbed off with your thumb, kind of like you do with the residue of a price tag on the new pan you just bought at the department store. As for devaluing your instrument (say, if you were planning to sell the instrument in a few years)? I'd think that a savvy buyer would see that you took the proactive step to protect the instrument from unnecessary damage, and would actually appreciate that. And the small aesthetic compromise of having fairly inconspicuous bumpers on the ribs shouldn't be a deal-breaker if the bass plays well and sounds good. But honestly, I can't really speak for the quirks and requirements of a buyer - so again, it's up to you whether you decide that these are right for you. And again, they can be removed, but just be aware that there is that little bit of risk involved. Installation Each set is designed to protect one side of your instrument. Monitor your habits and you'll probably find the favored side is the one against your body, but you can determine that. While the bass is put on its side, use pieces of masking tape, Post-it, etc., to indicate exactly where your bass meets the floor, so the bumpers will be in the right places. Turn the bass over, and again, use masking tape or a marker to put guides on the sides to show exactly where you want to put the bumpers. You want accurate placement …
