Epiphone bass 3 point bridge modification

I've been looking at those.

I read that it will stop the bridge from bending, and since i changed the bridge on 5 of my 6 basses with that kind of bridges because of bending, this looks like a cheap way to prevent that.

How would you say the sound changes, what It does for the tone?

Hi. A slight fuller and brighter tone but great sustain 😊

Thank you.

I'll talk to a friend who works in metal, and see if be can't fix some for me. Should be easy enough for him 👍

Make sure he uses the correct diameter stainless steel bar and hole centres and you could possibly sell a few discretely (possible copywrite or whatever issue?) to make it worth both your while. $30 plus shipping is a bit steep but I'd definitely take a couple at a more sensible price.

Amazing collection! Those 3-point units used by Matsumoku are notoriously flexible though - this was my Westbury Track 2 when I got it:

Think it might've been too far gone for the bar to fix it...

Thank you 😀

That's what happened to all my bridges.

I bought 5 no-name replacements from Alibaba for almost the same price as one costs in Sweden. And they work just as well.
