Titanium saddles

Actually, you just can't hear what certain people hear and that's ok. Some folks can't taste the difference between regular and decaf. If it doesn't improve your situation then dismiss it and keep on truckin.

In this example there are audible differences between low-mass and high-mass bridges and there are audible differences between Aluminum, Brass, Steel, and Titanium. In regards to the TI saddles, I tried a vintage styled titanium bridge with titanium threaded saddles and there was an noticeable increase in sustain and brightness in terms of note clarity. However, that wasn't what I wanted on the particular P-bass in question so I went back to a stock steel bridge & steel threaded saddles.

So, was there a noticeable difference? Yes. Was it better? Not for me.
