OK, I have one...why doesn't Lakland give you the option of getting a normal looking bridge? I like Lakland basses but I absoultely hate that oval bridge. It looks more like a sink drain than a bridge. Lakland makes great stuff, but the bridge is a deal-breaker for me.

I could care less what the bridge looks like. My 4-94 is awesome. I'm not into aesthetics, so for me, the bridge is fine, and more than distinctive. It's tone that I'm after, not a beauty contest winner.

My two cents,

Alan

I feel that the bridge is awesome and gives all Laklands that extra edge. Different strokes

I think they where probably going for a Musicman look when they came up with their bridge design.

I'm a die hard Fender fan but the oval bridge doesn't bother me a bit for some reason. Jimmy, why not just change out the bridge to one of your liking? You're really missing out.
