These were made by Groovetubes some years ago and are apparently out of production? They are a brass plate that attaches to the back of a bass's headstock. If anyone has one or knows where to get, I'm all ears.

I have 2 of the clamps one for bass and one for guitar if you're interested, but haven't seen the flat sheet in years. I'd go to a hardware store and take a stab at building your own.

Just bought a fatfinger. I guess we'll see how that goes. I clipped one of those big office paper clips to the headstock and it moved the dead spot down two whole frets. The thing is relatively light and low mass, so I'm hoping the fatfinger will do the job better.
