This is weirdly advertised…
If think this product excels at mitigating dead spots on bass guitars.
I noticed no relevant changes regarding the sustain of the overall bass, but it did help making the dead spot on my Sire V5 (C# on G string) less pronounced. It helps only when placed on the TOP of the headstock (it doesn’t mitigate the dead spot if it’s placed on the side or on the junction with neck. I have no idea why). Overall, a good product that should be better advertised. Although it doesn’t solve the problem 100%, it makes it 50% better, which is a win for me.

Good accessory!
trident 14.07.2020
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!

Fatfinger by Fender
AlanM 29.05.2013
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.

Gives a little more sustain and takes out deadnotes
stopolos 02.05.2019
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.
