The seldom-seen Brass Mass bridge leftovers.  Too bad bout them frets.

They called it "The Claw". I can't imagine why anyone would want one on a P Special - the original bridge was also high mass. And the Claw was heavy - as if you needed that extra weight on a 11-12 lbs. bass.

it's a bridge and a dustpan.

 It is funny lots of people slag off the Badass but the high mass concept keeps reappearing. Fenders even now sport a new high mass vintage bridge. The "dust pan" makes a joke of a nice P bass. Some thins really should be left as is.

I pointed this one out as I don't believe that is a replacement.  I recall those came stock on a very small number of the first Specials.

 I didn't mean to say it isn't stock ,the bridge is. I remember when these came through the store
