I fear what would happen if you broke a string. Just dangerous as hell. No safety mechanisms to keep the magnet in a safety channel or from flying off.

Also not rated for anyone using a pacemaker. 500lbs of force is insane.

Cool, but I think I hate that dudes commentary/acting

Yeah this was my first thought too.

500lbs of force is hoping a lot goes right, forever.

No .... the bridge shoots across the room in the opposite direction and takes out 1/2 of someones skull

It is thought that most humans only use 10% of their brain, so by my calculations there's still plenty of reserve brain cells left for old half skully face.

Did you see the end where a string did pop?
The dude's pants probably stunk a little after that.

I member years ago there was a company that made "optical" pickup systems for basses. Lightwave maybe?


I seem to recall some of those super weird Jackson Antigravity basses having it as well. Apparently did not catch on lol

I discovered this guy a while back. He makes some goofy contraptions.

500lb is crazy. A normal 6 string 10-46 is about 102lb total. That tension on a Floyd Rose balanced with a few springs is always in the back of my mind. And at about 17lbs on 1 string held in place by a little screw wedged against the string always worries me a little tuning up.
I couldn’t imagine 500 damn pounds.

Can you palm mute and chug on it?
