Danuman Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Initially I was a bit worried about the darker tone too, but some tweaking got me right where I wanted to be. Lovely burpy '70s J sounds. It was already a pretty sweet sounding bass, but now it's just a joy to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanEly Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 All fitted. I must say I was a bit apprehensive about the bridge at first. So far so good. I've now got a super low action with minimal buzz. The darker tone comments make a bit more sense now. It does appear to smooth everything over. My precision has a nice rich creamy tone now but still retains that classic full open P snarl. I'm tempted to get a couple more to fit to my other basses now! It does add a fair bit of weight in my opinion though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nash Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 I finally fitted mine. I have the retro fit saddles for my BAii. The bass setup was easier and no longer needs the shim I was going to make because the saddle slots are nice and deep. I need to play it through my amp soon.

chrismuzz Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I fitted one to my Zodiac BXP at the weekend. I tried both the brass and the stainless steel saddles and the difference was huge. Not what I expected! Brass made it sound really fat and warm, and tamed a lot of the upper mid-range and highs. Steel made it sound almost the same as the stock bridge, very open and with a focus on upper mid-range punch (exactly what I was Looking for). Except it still made everything sound "bigger", "warmer", and I no longer had a lack of low end when I played up the dusty end of the neck. Weight is obviously more than the stock bridge but this bass has a very subtle neck dive issue. Not enough to cause issues but it's definitely balanced a lot better now! All in all I think it was a decent upgrade, and hopefully I won't have to keep replacing worn saddles and breaking strings like I usually do!
