Looks like a decent bridge. Never seen one like it before. The thing I notice is that it will not be centered on the body when in the correct location for centering the strings on the neck. Notice that there is more space between the B string slot and the edge of the base plate than there is on the G side. This is one of my cosmetic peeves. Probably wouldn't be noticed on a solid color body but would really be noticeable on a neck through or clear finish body that was multiple pieces of wood with clear lines showing the center of the body.

Does.it look to you that it is cheap Korean steel, or cheap Korean brass? Everyone knows that Korean mild steel and brass are low quality.
:eyebrow:

That's why Carving and many boutique basses use cast Korean bridges these days. They don't trust Korean metals. They want increased warranty claims.

It's a simple bridge; it will do the job asked of it. It's origin is of little consequence. Statements like your are nonsense.
