Nice way to ruin a real bass. Put that in the garbage and get a real bridge, maple.

Whoever makes them probably got the idea from the tripod string lifter that looks similar but heavier. IMO either is useless a utters on a bore hog, and using the lifter is as awkward as making love through a picket fence.

I wonder if they are even made anymore / the thing looks prehistoric....
