discreet Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) I'm looking at buying a Babicz Full Contact Hardware Bass Bridge with adjustable locking cams etc, thus: [url="http://www.fullcontacthardware.com/4-bass-bridge.htm"]http://www.fullconta...bass-bridge.htm[/url] From the pics and videos it looks to me like the cams and strings are recessed [i]below [/i]the highest point of the saddles... I play with a pick and use [i]a lot[/i] of palm muting. And while I would welcome not having to rip my hands on sharp grub screws, if the strings are recessed then this bridge will be of no use to me. Anyone got one of these, and if so, do you have a problem with palm muting? Thanks!

Ou7shined Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I haven't tried one but it doesn't look like there would be much of a problem. Don't you mute just in front of the bridge? Everyone's different but I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 Nah, I mute right where the strings rest on the saddles. Hence the shredded hand from grub screws. Though I believe you can get shorter grub screws to alleviate this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiehoffmann Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I use a Babicz in one of my basses and never had problem palm muting when using a plectrum. Much more comfortable than resting your hand on the standard Fender bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr Szelma Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 [quote name='eddiehoffmann' timestamp='1319623424' post='1416430'] I use a Babicz in one of my basses and never had problem palm muting when using a plectrum.

I have tried Babicz and I was not very happy with it! It supposed to be BadAss killer but it is not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 Aha! Exactly what was it that you weren't happy about with the Babicz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
