Schaller 3D-4 Bass Bridge CH

I had Partsland BS-41 bridge in my Edwards Forester.

After changing to this bridge, adjusting intonation became walk in the park. Not sure if its due to the bridge or the fact that I've also applied pencil to the nut, but tuning stability greatly increased. Bass started to sound more aggressive.

I set it to lowest action possible and got a rattling sound. If you have the same problem, put your finger on a saddle and pluck the string to find which saddle is vibrating against the bridge. After that tighten height adjusting screws just a bit, without any noticeably lifting string height, if you balance both screws correctly, rattling should be gone.

I bought the Schaller 3D to help change the balance on an otherwise good but neck-diving Ibanez Talman bass. Schaller Light heads were the other half of the balance change.

The bridge added 170g to the body end as the heads took off the same from the head. The balance is now excellent.

Needless to say, the Schaller 3D is a far better bridge than the stock one. The bottom end is now much more solid - particularly important on a short-scale bass.

And the ability to move the adjust the strings sideways to set the spacing as you want is very useful - in my case a very welcome benefit.

The bridge is properly engineered, very solid and does a great job. Better still, it just drops in - highly recommended.

I was looking for a replacement bridge for a cheaper bass.
The neck was ok, the old bridge itself was ok, but the string spacing did not match.

This bridge was designed to be flexible and this is what you get.
You can change e.g. the string spacing much more than with any other bridge I've seen up to now.
An extra metal plate, three millimeters high, allows for using it on basses which need a higher bridge.
It's massive, easy to use, and - in my opinion - it looks good.

At the end of the day, for me the bass is much more worthy now.
So, also the price is right.
