Essential but expensive
A ridiculously overpriced although necessary purchase for any bassist wishing to employ the excellent, and ironically incredibly reasonable, CC 100 gooseneck condenser microphone. Needless to say, this clip attaches to the afterlength between tailpiece and bridge, providing the microphone effective placement at the acoustic sweet-spot of the soundpost albeit at the expense of the player's ability to deploy the extended techniques of pizzicato and arco 'behind-the-bridge', at least on the A and D strings. The slots for these strings are an incredibly tight fight, something which I will generously describe as 'secure' although, being rubber, I imagine these will become more flexible over time and will hopefully do so not at the expense of the integrity of the product. Overall, a well-made item at an unnecessarily excessive price point.

A bit expensive piece of rubber
I expected for 20 ¤ more. It?s too small for some basses-specialy if you wanna install it on a strings betwen the bridge and tailpiece. The string mount doesn?t have the holes for strings big enough. Mine is also not very straight and solid-the mic holder moves a bit.
On the other hand you can place it to the F-hole so you have more sound possibilities.

Fit-for-purpose but fairly expensive
The clip is used for its intended purpose: to attach the cc100 mic into the afterlength of a double bass. It does that. The slits for the strings are a bit narrow for DB strings, and when the rubber ages it may crack there. Wider slits would be preferred.
It does what it's supposed to do, but I find it relatively expensive.
Mounting in an f-hole gives too much direct contact & sensitivity to top resonances.
