Warwick Bridge & Tailpiece?

Sign in to disble this ad
How are they, say compared to a Gotoh, or Schaller Roller Bridge?

What about these GÖLDO bridges? http://www.thomann.de/ie/goeldo_hw50b_bass_3d_steg.htm


For a scratch build, so I can go any way on this, and as of right now, I'm not intrested in Badass bridges.

Well, the Warwick one is two pieces? Plus it will give you ZOMG growl.

What do you mean by "How are they, say compared to a Gotoh, or Schaller Roller Bridge?"?

Not very insightful for an Irishman.

Go with a Kahler, you know you want to.

It is indeed two pieces, looks good, and is cheap.

Are the as adjustable as the Schaller, as sturdy as the Gotoh, are they easy to intonate, etc.....[/quote]

The Warwick


The Schaller


The Gotoh


It doesn't look like it will have as much side to side adjustability as the Schaller. I haven't ever heard anything of the Warwick bridges being unsturdy. Warwick bridges are some of the best looking IMO.

Warwick bridges are very high mass. They may not look very massive, but the tail piece and saddle assembly are sunk about 1 inch deep into the body. The saddle piece also sits on a metallic base that is quite heavy. They are adjustable in X Y and Z axis.

Hmmm, sounds good, high mass, but tidy, and it'd look great on the bass I'm planning out, an Explorer.

Nothing like it really, TBQH, but that does show me how good the bridge looks on the Explorer.

Mine's gonna be Gibson shaped, with two humbuckers, and a Fender style neck, fretless.

Have they a lot of intonation range?
