Unknown Bridge

[cmebass]

A bass came by recently and had this strange bridge. I can't seem to identify it, but it sounds AMAZING. It appears to be a handmade sort of thing, perhaps using components from a BadAss bridge.

Could anyone help identify it? VERY curious.

Thanks.

What bass is that on? Looks very old, kinda 'steampunk'. No idea what it is, but I like it.

Doesn't look like it has any components of any BadAss I've ever seen, but I like it.

I would have offset the intonation screws to make adjustment easier.

The bass is actually a modified 1974 Fender Precision Bass (it was routed with another split coil, and eventually a jazz)

that's on a P-bass?

looks kinda "homebrew machine shop project" to me, too.

It does look like a machined brass item (I have done machinist work) and does, obviously sound fine!! If one could get over that wood removal for installation... Sustain for days!!

Can we get a zoomed out shot of the whole bass?
