Mystery Bridge in Bass Player Mag?

Sign in to disble this ad
Can someone kindly do me a favor and send me info on a bridge I've seen advertised in back of Bass Player magazine? It's kind of got a curved action going where each string has more contact with the metal. Like a dumbass I sold my stash of back issues and the most recent issues (at lease the past few months) don't have the ad.
Thanks!

I remember seeing those too. Looks like a cool design/idea. Haven't seen anyone on TalkBass using them though...

Got a whole forum of players using a locking bridge. Leo Fender used that idea 28 years ago in G&L's.

Doesn't look bad though. Saddles look a bit wonky and can't make out details in the vid clip.

If you click on the flash animation I think it starts to make more sense. I like this idea, strange that it hasn't caught on at all.

Maybe it really doesn't make such a big difference?

I thought you might be talking about the Naimish, which they reviewed a while back...

Yeah, it does seem similar to the Naimish.
Is Mr. Naimish still making his bridges? I saw that as of a few months ago production was suspended.
