Yes, this is to make sure the strings whose tuners are furthest away are still pushed downwards at the nut, as that point defines the vibrating length of the open string.

It’s called a ‘string tree’. Like @joergkutter explained, you don’t do anything with it other than make sure the strings go under it.

My growing collection…
2014 MiM Fender Jazz is my go to. Tidepool with a pearl pickguard. Easily the best instrument of the three and I can never get enough of the classic J bass tone.
My SBMM SUB that I just picked up yesterday. I love my J, but this is for when i want that beefier low end, or that mean growl that this thing creates which my J does not.
Last and least is my old beater that I learned on. Ibanez GSR 200. It will always have a special meaning to me as being my first bass, but that’s the only real nice thing I can say about it. I like the neck well enough, but the sound just isn’t great. It did its job as a starter bass to get me into it.

All very nice, and I’ll go along with your opinion about that J-bass, but then again, I’m probably biased, @BassFaceDisgrace 
Cheers and good luck with the new SB, Joe

Yes it is awesome. I really wish it was a 2x10, or even a 4x10. But this one is just too much. When I first tested the whole system, the Open B string almost blew me across the room.
Think McFly in Back to the Future 
Nice collection.
You and I have the same GSR 200, same Color and same story, first Bass, nice neck, won’t be my go to for long.

This is my 1st bass. Got it when I started getting serious about learning to play. It’s a Greg Bennett Corsair series. I’m not sure how good it is since I’m still a novice when it comes to bass guitars. I haven’t heard anyone recommend this product on the forum. So I plan to replace it after I’m done with the B2B lessons. But if there’s any good thing to say about this bass, I’d just have it for keeps after I upgrade.
One thing I noticed is that it hums seriously once I hook it up to the amp, but stops humming when I touch the strings. Grounding issues but not sure how best to fix it. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Oooooo.
I immediately recognise that headstock.
Probably a LOT better than you expect.
Oh, I’ll be happy to take it off your hands for a small price so that it may join my Gregg Bennett Fairlane. 
Seriously: that is a very nice, generally underrated instrument. I have a Gregg Bennett Fairlane, which is more like a jazz bass. Excellent mechanics, pickups designed by Seymour Duncan, and good tuners! After it was done up by a luthier for the princely sum of 40 euros, it sounds a lot better and plays as least as good as the Fender Precision Bass I once had. The luthier also commented about how unexpectedly good it was – he said he had seen Fender jazz basses that needed a setup just as much, and weren’t any better after the setup.
If it hasn’t been done yet, there is more than an outside chance that it will benefit greatly from a good setup.

Looking at it, it seems as if your Corsair is exactly the same instrument, except for the P element at the neck end.
The electronics might benefit somewhat from some judicious application of tin foil to improve the shielding a bit.

Oops!
Take the bridge off first and check there is contact, 9 out of 10 earth problems are here. If not check your solder joint’s. If there all good, check for continuity of the earth.
She is a great bass, don’t underrate it they are a good bass. What it says on the headstock should be the last consideration in choosing a bass. @Trev1
