Hi , bought an scn pickup from John, it arrived next post. Very quick. No problems at all, a nice guy to deal with, pickup was exactly as described. Highly recommended to deal with. Thanks John Derrey

Thanks for all the comments I might give a 4 string version a try, only problem is they're a bit time consuming to produce and I don't want to infinge any copyrights. Thanks ikay the spring site looks to be most promising. Also added 2 more shots of bridge after it was polished

Having seen the way Badass Bridges seem to be rocketing in price and not always convinced that they really do make a huge difference to the sound I thought I would have a go at making one. It's made from brass, weighs about the same as a Badass and was considerably cheaper. The saddles are all hand filed to shape so are not exactly the same as each other. the brige is fitted to my Squire 5 sting which I use as a testbed for the odd mod. The only drawback was a milling machine was needed and I had to buy 10 grub screws which came to £4. I've included a couple of pics so anyone interested can see what it looks like. In case anyone wonders the sound as far as I can discern is not a lot different from using the original bridge, but I do like the look of Badasses. If anyone knows a source of springs for bridges I'd like to know as I had to use 2 for each saddle 'cause I couldn't find any long enough. Thanks for looking
