derrenleepoole Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Just wondering, if there's a cheaper alternative to the Schaller roller saddle bridges for a j-bass. The bridge position on my SX shortie is a little out, and I don't want to re-drill new holes for the Schaller bridges, plus they're very expensive. Is there a bridge out there that will retro fit the current bridge, but offer roller saddle adjustment, but at a good price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 The only other roller saddle bridge that I know of is by [url="http://www.abm-mueller.com/index2.html?bassbridges.html"]ABM[/url] and is probably even more expensive than the Schaller one.

But it would require redrilling, which is what I'd like to avoid if at all possible.

I couldn't possibly recommend it even if the mounting holes matched up with your bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
