TheG Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Hi there I was chatting to a fellow bassist last night who had a Clifton Tail Lift device that made the tension of his strings lighter. I have tried other basses with various strings on that are very easy to play so know its not just about strings. I don't really want to go down the gut route and trying lots of strings can be very expensive. The idea sounds Great but just wondered if anyone else had any experience with them or know any Pros/Cons to the idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keeponehandloose Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 That could be DIYd so easily. I would make it longer underneath the bass , and put a large hole in it , so that it slippped over the endpin collar. No need to screw into bass body that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheG Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 As far as I saw it just slipped in. Those screws on it are for adjusting how far out you want the tail piece they don't screw into the actual bass, I wouldn't be too keen to do that. Looks like there are 2 sizes? Also just thought, I would need a longer tailpiece wire as well wouldn't I. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
