Schaller 3D-4 Bass Bridge CH

I was looking for a replacement bridge for a cheaper bass.
The neck was ok, the old bridge itself was ok, but the string spacing did not match.

This bridge was designed to be flexible and this is what you get.
You can change e.g. the string spacing much more than with any other bridge I've seen up to now.
An extra metal plate, three millimeters high, allows for using it on basses which need a higher bridge.
It's massive, easy to use, and - in my opinion - it looks good.

At the end of the day, for me the bass is much more worthy now.
So, also the price is right.

I bought the Schaller 3D to help change the balance on an otherwise good but neck-diving Ibanez Talman bass. Schaller Light heads were the other half of the balance change.

The bridge added 170g to the body end as the heads took off the same from the head. The balance is now excellent.

Needless to say, the Schaller 3D is a far better bridge than the stock one. The bottom end is now much more solid - particularly important on a short-scale bass.

And the ability to move the adjust the strings sideways to set the spacing as you want is very useful - in my case a very welcome benefit.

The bridge is properly engineered, very solid and does a great job. Better still, it just drops in - highly recommended.
