It is a tug bar. Back in the day, some played the bass with their thumb. They used the little bar to keep things anchored.

It’s a cigarette rest back in the day, lol. No it’s a finger rest for the genius designer who doesn’t play the instrument.

You can hold the bass by it and then you don’t need to waste money on a strap
