That could be it too. It reminded me of the scene where she tells Homer that she's part of the MTV generation.
Lisa: Dad, we're part of the MTV generation. We feel neither highs nor lows.
Homer: What's that like?
Lisa: Meh.

Dang Dude! Three pages of goofy answers because your picture is so bad that no one can see what you're talking about and you still haven't replaced the picture?
It's really hard to tell from that crappy blurry picture, but you might be looking at a Fender "Fat Finger" which is a device you clamp onto the headstock to get rid of dead notes on the neck. It causes the neck to vibrate at a different frequency than any of the fretted notes. Picture below is the one for guitar, they also make one specifically for bass. They also claim that it adds sustain to your notes.
You're all wrong. It's clearly a turboencabulator. If you're not familiar with it, the original machine had a base plate of prefabulated amulite, surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two main spurving bearings were in a direct line with the panametric fan. The latter consisted simply of six hydrocoptic marzlevanes, so fitted to the ambifacient lunar waneshaft that side fumbling was effectively prevented. The main winding was of the normal lotus-o-deltoid type placed in panendermic semi-boloid slots in the stator, every seventh conductor being connected by a nonreversible tremmie pipe to the differential girdlespring on the "up" end of the grammeters.
But don't let that distract you from the fact that in 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum-security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem... if no one else can help... and if you can find them... maybe you can hire... The A-Team.

Jeez, 3-in-1 is the worst thing you can use on those things, just give them a quarter turn once every three months and change the grommit if it needs it

A hen weighs about 3 or 4 lbs.
You obviously are both confused...
It's patently a dikfor.
Nope, the bridge cover is better suited, but you still a buttalanche out the open side.
Mine is sitting on my dresser, Mrs. Tedious throws the picks that show up in the laundry in it.

- I like 5, 8, 10, and 12 string basses
pickup and bridge covers are there for the sole purpose of making bass playing more difficult
It's hard tell with that body slab, I don't think it's an actual shape.
Nobody knows...
They have been found in the oddest places along with Fender ashtrays....which is why you rarely see em on basses anymore....

The accessory in question is called Blur. These days, a highly diluted form is used mainly by people who want to start a questionable thread and wish to keep their identity in doubt, but in the 40's it was one of those idiotic nazi (may they all be suffering in an especially nasty type of augmented hell) "secret" weapons. They would spray it on their faces before scampering off to their daily jobs as atrocity guys in the hope it would hide their identities, but it proved to be highly toxic (so far, so good). In keeping with their typical efficiency and concern for public safety, they applied a warning to the aerosol cans;
"Caution, do not spray product directly into your face. Spray it directly into someone else's face. Someone Belgian, perhaps."
Unfortunately, once the blur was out of the bag, so to speak, it could never be un-invented. Politicians have been using a de-toxified derivative for several decades, to make their absurd ideas seem to be mostly harmless, with impressive results.
As for why it could be considered a Bass accessory, that's another story.
