Excellent value for money, excellent tone transmission
I wanted a new bridge for a venerable but battered Boosey and Hawkes Excelsior bass, about 40 - 50 years old. I also wanted an adjustable bridge to allow for playing variations as although it is set up for orchestra work now, I intend ultimately to restring it and adjust it for slap and rockabilly.
I settled for this bridge as a good balance between cost and quality. I have been very pleased. The bridge arrived simply but safely packaged, with plenty of spare height for cutting down to fit, I imagine, any bass. I fitted the bridge myself and found the wood easy to work accurately, but not too soft so there was little risk of getting carried away and taking too much off anywhere on the bridge. The adjustors are smooth and certain, easy to adjust but staying reliably in position. Tone transmission is full and rich.
All in all this is an excellent choice for a balance between cost, quality, tone and ease of accurate fitting.

Perfect Action
For too long, I had been limiting my stile by playing with a bridge which cannot be adjusted. With this bridge, I can now find my perfect string action for the type of music I'm playing. If I'm playing more pitz today but more slap stye tomorrow, both can be catered for by adjusting the bridge height to achieve the desired string action. Usually though, you'll find the correct string action for you.
