Fender FatFinger Guitar Chrome

I bought this to help mitigate my bass’ dead spot. It helped but then I realised I could just affix a capo on the headstock and have the same result without it looking so ugly so I sent this back. Try your capos before buying this.

Was a little bit sceptic but this accessory really ads a little bit of oomph to the guitar's tone. It enhances the lows and ads a little bit of stability to the guitar's timbre and tone. Did some A/B tests to figure that out. So if you have a guitar that tends to sound dry and unfocused, then you found a nice solution to it in the Fender FatFinger. Sounds even more obvious when recorded. Definitely recommend buying one, think of it as a capo or slider in your accessory kit that is good when you need to enhance the tone of the guitar. Cheers!

To be honest i didn't really notice any difference using the Fatfinger. I tried it on my Mexican Strat and American Tele (both with Kinman pickups) and an expensive acoustic (Moon RD3) and a cheap nylon string acoustic. This is not to say that it doesn't work .. i think the theory behind it is good. I'm hopeful it may prove itself in the future and i'll continue to try it out.

Mounted this clamp on my Fender JB. It is heavy and thus makes the bass feel neck-heavy. Very easy to mount on the headstock.
The advantage of this device is that it improves the overall sustain by 10-15%. It also makes eventual dead notes (tones) sound more like the rest of the neck.

It really works, I recommend it to everyone!

you just need to try very hard to find a place and the main thing is not to fasten it too tightly, to give the opportunity for vibration on the fingerboard (they do the same on the cello, they hang the load on the string)
