ikay Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Thanks, that's fairly chunky so probably zinc or brass I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
von Braun Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Hmm, might be just what I need for my next project. Is that a straight Fender P or J swap out or does it need routing in a bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bass-a-licious Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) I believe this is not the 303BO, but the 404SJ based on the thickness of the side edges. Edited January 23, 2018 by bass-a-licious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did think that at first too but decided against it due to the placement of the saddle screws. The thickness of the edges does look like it's from the 404SJ though, you're right.

Chienmortbb Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 From gotih’s site ”With the ability to choose the combination of base plate and saddle freely, the 303/404/ J510 bass bridge series meets the exacting needs of bass players and custom builders. The base plate of the 303 model employs a special duralumin alloy for the plate, which we call “RES-O-LITE”. Thanks to the acoustic features peculiar to RES-O-LITE, string oscillations can be quickly transmitted to the body. The base plate of 404/J510 model using hard zinc with reputed for its tonal quality, produces a more sonorous tone. Combine with a choice of either a steel (SJ), or brass (BO) saddle for each series and you can build an original bridge with a unique sound.
