Simon. Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 I think these look great, and there has obviously been a lot of thought put in to the design. Thinking about the copper version, is there any mechanism to prevent bi-metallic corrosion? As @SpondonBassed mentioned, bridges can accumulate a lot of sweat and gunk...🤢 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having used high treated aeronautical raw materials, I don't know if corrosion will appear due to the accumulation of sweet... if this would be the case I'd replace the complete bridge for free with a new one...

Hi, it seems that only you & me hear more sustain with the new bridge... Honestly to me there is more sustain with the new bass bridge, by the way I received a lot of emails/ PMessenger, non constructive feedbacks: your bridge is ugly as sh..t , I will never buy your bridge I didnt hear more sustain, beacuse you use aluminium your bridge dosen't bring any new improvement to a bass You have copied the bridge from Jens Johnsen ( no under license) and much more... the list is too long & some feedbacks were very harsh... Anyway I'm a small Bass Builder from Luxembourg & doing the best I can & I'm proud of my results... Cheers from Luxembourg & many thanks to all of you from basschat for all your great feedback :)))) Edited July 22, 2020 by Sidlanir 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
