    Does a good bridge like a babicz bridge reflect good tension for bass

    frequency = (1/2L)√(T/μ) L is length, in meters so changing saddle distance really is negligable unless you are swapping necks to short scale. μ is mass per unit volume. so want more tension increase gauge, want less use lighter strings.

    Does a good bridge like a babicz bridge reflect good tension for bass

    to get a cirtain frequency you have to have X tension, however variables such as mass come into acount too, if you increase the mass with the same tension the frequency goes down. basically, if you wanna change tension for a ciratin note change string gauge.. easiest way

    Which would you upgrade first? An amp or a bass?

    i said bass purely because where i live ashdown 500 watt sets come up easy for £400.. whereas a nice bass is £600+ heck even mims are only £100 less then store(£450) unless rusted and batterd. so i upgrade bas first because i love mah ashdawn and i can gig with it so its all i need.
