It never fails. Right as I get a new(to me) bass, something else shiny catches my eye. I've been really happy with my NG3, but this may have me not so much upgrading, but making a lateral move.

*Apologies if this is a repeat post. I searched but didn't find anything on it.

Old bridge is pretty functional, no complaints on mine but I agree, the new bridge does look a lot neater. The price is a bit eye-watering though with these new bridges. As far as I know, they're only on the Canadian models.

Not so much the aesthetics for me but the functionality. I play in a Metallica coverband rn and need to palm mute sometimes. The Canadian style bridges for dingwall are amazing and some of the most comfortable I’ve ever played due to not having to sharp edges. The import single saddles have a lot of angles that can be not as comfortable to play if your hand is on the bridge.

Oh yes, I'll agree on that one. If you catch it wrong, them saddles are pretty sharp.

Payson strings for a very nice version of the AB style bridge.

Great idea to do a bit of a cosmetic makeover on the Combustions.

And not just the new visual styling, it’s got a cool electronics package as well. And a blend knob! Finally!

I love the switch to go straight to P only or a J setup, and the all three option.

Question is: how hard are the new tariffs going to hit a bass that imports from Asia to Canada, gets worked on, and then ships to the US?

Payson is a bit backlogged at the moment. I'm sure he has bridges, but I'm still waiting for strings I ordered back in mid-April of last year. Looking forward to trying them though as I hear they're magic on multiscales.
