discreet Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][b]*SOLD* Babicz FCH-4 Bass Bridge[/b][/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I bought this in an effort to address an issue I had with my stock Fender bridge. The Babicz solved the problem completely, but it turns out my OCD won't allow a non-stock, non-period component on my vintage bass [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] - so it's up for grabs.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]This is a really well-designed and well-made bit of kit and it looks great, almost sculptural in fact. And it's a real doddle to fit and adjust. The idea is that the strings have full contact with the body at all times through a rotating cam system, so there's never any air space below the bridge saddles as there is with a bridge that uses saddle screws to adjust the action. Babicz also claim an increase in sustain and the eradication of unwanted vibration and I can certainly vouch for the latter, if not the former. I don't think long sustain is a particularly desirable trait in an electric bass anyway, but your mileage may vary...[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]In short, this is a very worthwhile upgrade to any Fender bass that uses the five-hole fixing system. Once you've adjusted your action and intonation you can lock up the bridge so it is in effect one piece of solid metal. Technically brilliant and very functional.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]So if your Bent Bit Of Tin is rattling or buzzing, or your saddles mysteriously adjust themselves, or your hand is being shredded when palm muting, or you just want a bridge that is aesthetically pleasing, then this is for you.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Bank transfer preferred, but will accept PayPal as a gift if absolutely necessary. Item will be very well packed and despatched via an appropriate tracked method. I will PM the buyer an ETA and other relevant information.
