Nothing being said here that hasn't been covered to death already.

wahh? i'm not an engineer or an industrial designer.

I understand.

If anyone is interested in where Leo Fender was going with bass bridges one need look no further than his G&L bridges.

Yeah, a couple of the more interesting features I found about the G&L bass bridges I had was the boss on the bottom of the plate that sits in a matching routing in the body and the hex screw for pushing the saddles together.

I've gone from a very heavy brass bridge to a light wooden bridge on one and a light aluminium( naimish) bridge on another.
Both sound better to me than the brass bridge.
Brass does something to the sound that I personally dislike.
And any added weight does not ,in my experience, result in added sustain.
The wooden bridged bass ( which is a very light bass with set one piece douglas fir neck and salomon padouk body), has no less sustain than the five piece sandwich bodied, nine piece necked bass with the brass bridge.

I'd love to see the wooden bridge you have, if you happen to have any pics. Thanks!
