Double Bass Wingless / low mass bridges: your experiences?

[etorgerson]

My understanding is that by cutting the wings off and proper shaping, you can get more amplitude to the table and get a brighter, louder sound, something I might be interested in.
What experiences do any tb’ers have with this change on a double bass?

Change bridge to change sound?

 

[Reiska]

I often find TB stuff that I`m searching better straight from google than the TB search. I have one again on my bass, and I`m not sure right now if it`s that or the fact that I dropped extra stuff like bow quiver at the same time I switched to my wingless bridge, but all of that makes a small difference to the overall resonance and how lowest string starts under the bow. I quess masters like Quarrington and Feeney doesn`t use it for no reason, Quarrington tunes in fifths and Feeney uses gut strings exclusively. Anyhow, in my case, it might or might not make life a little easier and the bass a little more resonant when talking about acoustic response. At least it looks very cool
