Chrome Bridge w/ nickel screws

Sign in to disble this ad
So there's this Chrome bridge I'm probably going to buy, but everything else on my bass is nickel, (PG screws, bridge screws, tuners, etc.) Would this combination be... gross? I'm talking about looks. Would it be at all noticeable?

Chrome definitely has a different tint compared to nickel but since you don't have any large nickel plated pieces right next to the bridge the contrast will be far less noticeable. If you had a chrome bridge and a nickel plated pickup cover, that would stand out.

I've actually decided to go all chrome.

I saw these:

Flat PG screws on a Jazz.... Mmm...

Now that I bought those I decided to get Chrome Bridge Screws too. I bought some black pickup screws as well.

I didn't know "Screw GAS" was a thing...
