    Can I mount this bridge on an acoustic?

    I have a crappy Dean acoustic bass and I enjoy noodling around on it but it has major intonation problems. With the neck relief within spec, I have notched the bridge saddles back to the point where there is no more room for adjustment and I need more real estate to get it right. My trusty...

    Sanding down a bridge or bridge saddles: a worthy solution to high action?

    I have a bass that was defretted that cannot achieve a low action because the bridge saddles won't go low enough. I know that shimming the neck tends to be a solution to this, but would sanding down the bottoms of the saddles of the bridge, or even sanding the entire bridge base down, also be a...

    Ray Ross Saddle-Less Bridge as saddles

    Hello friends, I have this idea that the Ray Ross saddle-less bridge could work as a really cool 2-piece or string-through-body saddle. If you flip it so the intonation screws face the neck, there should be enough clearance to have a good enough break angle for the strings. The only question...

    Blazing Saddles... still fantastic

    One of the movie channels aired Blazing Saddles this week. While I'm surprised a media company in our politically correct world we live in today chose to run it and risk the complaints, e-mails, letters, social media backlash and whatever else, I happily set my dvr, viewed it for the 800th time...

    Any obvious advantages tone wise to mono rail type bridge/saddles?

    I've pondered on maybe changing the stock Ibanez B10 bridge on my Ibanez GSRM20 Mikro Bass with a GSRM20B body and bridge for mono rail type bridge/saddle pieces, primarily because I would like to decrease the string spacing from the current standard 19mm to a slightly tighter spacing, perhaps...

    Ever maxed out your bridge saddles?...

    Let me preface this by saying that I've been doing my own setups for years and overall been happy with the results but I came across an issue that I've never dealt with before. Maybe you guys have experienced something similar. My G&L SB-2 had been strung with Labella Copper White Tapewounds...

    Bridge buzz on a Squier p bass

    I bought my Squier p bass about a year ago, and I’ve had nothing but problems with it. First, the solder on the output jack came off, then the strings somehow managed to be lower to the fretboard than I had adjusted them to, then again the solder came off, this time on the volume knob. I’ve been...

    Hi all! I recently purchased an EBMM Stingray 5 string HH and I'm getting fret buzz all over the neck on all strings.

    Steel Vs. Zinc Vs. Brass Vs. Aluminium bridge, any tone difference?

    I just swapped a brass bridge with brass saddles to a slightly higher mass steel bridge with steel saddles, but while the tone definitely got brighter with more clank, grind and bite, and the strings also sustains longer now, that could easily be contributed alone to the fact that I changed the...

    Lakland 55-01 owners, do your saddles look like this?

    To me, my bridge saddles seem to be angled very far back. My action is set pretty low. It was anywhere between 3/32 to 5/32 at the 16th fret (I think) before, then I raised it, giving each saddle screw a full turn. I didn‘t measure the action height. Is this normal for the saddles to be this...

    I've always had action issues with my Fender Jazz, even though the saddles are really low

    Is it true that I can get lower action if I get the string slots in the saddles filed down? I figure that's the issue, because I've had it set up professionally and the guy said the saddles were as low as possible.

    Silk on bridge saddles
