Max,
I would argue against removing the thumb rest on a bass clarinet.
As a player with both a Selmer Model 32 and a Model 65 Privilege bass, I use both a peg and a long strap with each one. The thumb rest along with the contact point of my top front teeth on the mouthpiece provides me with a very solid instrument platform and allows me to use my fingers more fluidly. IMHO more points of contact = greater instrument stability = increased dexterity.

PS Refacer, the thumb rest on the Privilege is really nice.
