Poor construction make this very unusable
Kalsten 03.08.2020
I bought this capo to use my 5-string bass (tuned to B) so I can use it "as is" for C tuning songs (I may change to thinner strings in the future, but for now I prefer to use the strings that came with the bass). I play metal, so there is a lot of bass lines that rely on open strings, so I need to use a capo for the time beign.

The spider capo XXL is described as to work with 5-string basses, but the individual fingers (the plastic things that push the strings) are made of poor-quality plastic, and they break. The package comes with a few spare ones, but still, at the rate that they break, I will have an useless capo very soon.

Also, the soft parts that are in contact with the neck (designed to avoid any marks due to the pressure on the neck), tend to fall and I have had to re-glue them already a couple times.

I am quite disappointed if I am honest. I will keep looking for a capo that may suit my 5-string bass.

Bonne idée mais pas pour basses
Anonymous 21.12.2015
Je pensais utiliser ce truc sur une basse 4 cordes, une 5 cordes, et une guitare folk.
Ca fonctionne pas trop mal sur la folk. Mais sur les basses, pas du tout ; le dispositif de fixation sur le manche n'est pas assez balèze pour tenir plaquées au manche 4 cordes à tirant normal. Donc déçu sur ce point.
Sur une folk ça fonctionne bien, et en effet les possibilités sont énormes.
Mais globalement, ça respire pas vraiment la qualité et la durabilité, ça sent plutôt le gadget dont on se lasse vite.

I found this capo overly complicated, which might be off-putting, like it was for me. I would recommend it only for those very motivated to spend time, try it thoroughly and make the most of it. I'd say that for the average guitar player (like me), it is unnecessary.

Unique!

It the only product that does what this does!
A bit tricky if you want to use it closer to the instrument's body (where the neck is usually wider) and definitely difficult to use if the string action is high.
It doesn't look 100% secure when installed but it usually stays where it's put.
I'm using it with 5-string basses

Not worth the money

This would probably be a quite nice capo. But the built is terrible. Rubber fell of at the first use.

Frustrating product. Idea of it is great, but the actual thing gives a headache.
