No this is not a s3x toy ^____^. It's a non- destructive way to extend the straphook out to the 12th fret of the Steinberger XT2 or XT25. This makes it much more comfortable to wear and to play without the need to damage this beautiful bass by screwing some bracket into it. This extender is made from a strip of Aluminium 4 centimeters wide and 3 millimeters thick. It just hooks onto the front strap attachment and has an L-shaped extention that rest against the upper part of the front of the body to prevent the extender from rotating upwards. 2.5mm rubber glued to the inside prevents scratching and fills up the space between the aluminium hook and the body of the bass to prevent lateral movement. It's rock solid, I guarantee it :)
I used (camouflage) duct tape to tape off any sharp edges of the aluminium so there's no chance of accidentally scratching the lacquer of the bass. I also sanded down all the edges with very fine grain sandpaper.

I DO NOT HAVE THESE FOR SALE!! If you want one you will have to make your own. You can see from the pictures on Flickr it really is not that difficult to make one if you are a bit handy with the tools.
