Something that just now occurred to me is that there’s a chance that the foam could have a chemical reaction to the finish. If the bass has a polyester-based finish it won’t be a concern, but you might want to consider placing a thin layer of felt or moleskin between the bottom of the piece of foam and the top.

Both can be found with self-adhesive backings. You can get that green felt in most crafts stores and in the crafts and fabric section of Walmart, and moleskin can be found in well-stocked pharmacies and medical supply stores.

Just a thought - it might not be necessary with the finish on this instrument, but if it turns out to be needed you’ll be glad you took care of it.

Hope this helps.
