I have scoured ebay and the listings here and noone has ever put one up for sale in the past month or two. :confused: I really don't want to pay $125 for a bridge right now. Any help is appreciated.

Check the prices at www.stewmac.com $107.00 www.lmii.com $103.50 www.allparts.com (not sure if they have a-style) Keep in mind that these prices are most likely for the black-coated aluminum. For black-coated brass, you'll probably pay more...for example, go to www.bestbassgear.com, and the aluminum black is $107, while the brass black is $121. stevetx19 03-08-2007, 11:30 AM ...those bridges are sweet... ive got one just waiting for my project to finish....

AN0INTD 03-08-2007, 02:42 PM Basschair, Thanks for the links man. Does the Brass have a big tonal impact on the bass? What I mean is, will the Brass bridge honestly sound different than the aluminum (deep vs. bright)? deaf pea 03-08-2007, 03:31 PM ...will the Brass bridge honestly sound different than the aluminum? Yes, they DO sound different . . . I personally prefer the aluminum ones. But it's VERY subjective . . . YMMV! AN0INTD 03-08-2007, 07:17 PM My search is done! Wilser, the ever so talented, the ever so generous, has offered me one of his bridges from a project that is on hold for a while. Thanks to all who have been PMing me with more help. :) Basschair 03-08-2007, 08:40 PM My search is done!

I'm glad I could help. From what I understand (with no first-hand experience using the brass one), the heavier brass will enhance sustain in the string. Again, this is second-hand info, so beware... |
