Improve playability and sound in one easy upgrade
Anonymous 08.06.2016
I decided that I needed to start a project with my Squier Standard Precision bass and the Babicz bridge was one of the first components I chose to replace.

Here's the rub - it slots straight in as a direct replacement. A very easy DIY upgrade for most Fenderesque Jazz/Precision basses (do check before buying).

What do you get? Well, a far punchier tone, much broader scale of adjustment and a serious look.

This bridge is not cheap for what it is, but it is very well crafted. It will last a long time. It's fairly light, also. Far lighter than the bridge it replaced, anyway. It feels like a high quality product.

Adjusting the intonation is a bit of a faf, but that's the only minor bad point I can think off. The action adjustment is a experience to behold. It's lovely. Over-engineered, but I like that in a 'thing'. I might sound a little geeky, but the smoothness of the saddle hight adjustment is something I could play with for hours. It all adjusts with tiny allen keys.

If you want to give your bass a cool look, better sound and the feel of a far more expensive bass, I would definitely recommend this product.

Well engineered Bass Bridge
Paul P. 657 13.03.2014
I removed the standard bridge from my Fretless bass and replaced it with the Babicz Bass Bridge.

This bridge is a lovely piece of hardware. It comes with fitting instructions an allen key and screws. Very easy to fit, it's literally just a case of remove and replace. The 5 screw holes align perfectly.
The Cam adjustment design provides precision adjustment for string height, and the intonation can adjusted and locked in place.
The Bridge is already set up in a generic fashion, so you could play immediately, if bridge adjustment and intonation is not your thing.
When I'd restrung the bass and made the necessary adjustments to my playing style and preference. I found that the solid build of the bridge and its direct contact on the bass body, made the tone and resonance of the bass so much warmer. Each note now has so much more sustain. It looks really cool too.

Best Aerodyne Jazz Bass bridge replacement ever!
Kaqalko 08.02.2019
I had this bridge in my previous bass guitar, Gibson EB 2013. I was very happy with it so I decided to use it to upgrade my Aerodyne Jazz Bass from 2017. Now the sustain is much better, same with attack. Finally I can palm mute comfortably when playing with pick. Definitely a great upgrade over stock bridge. When you learn how to set it up which might be pretty challenging at first you will find it very intuitive and comfortable. I highly recommend it, you will not be disappointed.

swapped out stock fender bridge on aerodyne bass where the intonation screws loosened all the time.Contrary to many opinions,this high mass bridge adds greately to a more beefy and stable sound.
Expensive but worth every dime.

highly recommended
Andrew5518 16.06.2017
I was customizing a fender squire jag bass and wanted to upgrade the stock bridge. There were a couple of options for the bridge but I went with the Babicz ... well for aesthetic reasons if I am honest. It was so easy to fit no pre-drilling required just a straight swap I didn't have to tinker too much with the intonation but again this is really adjustable and easy to do. What a difference it made, the sustain on what is essentially a low/mid price range bass is incredible. Every time I have this bass in the studio the engineer remarks on the sustain. I would imagine it would be just as easy to fit on all fender or squire models.

Perfect quality, awesome sound
Laszlo P. 09.08.2013
I bought my Fender Precision Bass with a standard vintage style bridge. I wanted a better quality, modern bridge with more setting options (BadAss II or something similar), because vintage bridge is too opened and instabile. It don't gives me the easy setup. This Babicz bridge is really cool and professional. Easy to install and now my P-Bass sounds great - as always - but Babicz "Full contact hardwere" gives me that stability that I never get from the vintage bridge plus I can modify my bridge settings and the action EASILY. I can recommend this part for every P-Bass users who wants a better option than ám old style vintage bridge.

Excellent bridge
Fran The Man 16.09.2021
Man, I love this bridge!
I recently bought a Sandberg bass and I really hated its bridge: terrible quality, very challenging to set it up. So I decided to replace it with a Babicz one and, what an upgrade! Very easy to setup, it looks great, it adheres perfectly on the body of the bass, very good materials.

NO CONS!

Tune up your Precision Bass!

Tune up your Precision Bass!

I replaced the original vintage bridge of my Roger Waters Signature Precison Bass with the Babicz Bass Bridge.

You´ll get a more modern sound with more sustain and a better attack playability.

Installing is very easy, everything you need is included. - only replace the old bridge with the neu Babicz. Screws and holes will fit perfect.

Nice bridge
Martin6712 22.10.2014
I bought this bridge to replace the stock "Vintage" bridge on my Yamaha RBX170. It's straightforward to fit - the screw holes align perfectly with the original although you need to remove the intonation adjustment screws on three of the saddles as they are in the way of the bridge fixing screws.

I also had to do a little fiddling to ensure the bridge is grounded properly (there's a patch on the underside of the bridge which the ground wire needs to ideally contact).

But nothing particularly hard.

Out of the box the setup was perfect on three strings; and just needed a minor tweak on the final string. Soundwise it's made a subtle improvement - sustain seems better. So a worthwhile upgrade!
