A note which sustains longer will be decaying slower, and that difference will kick in as soon as the attack is over. Comparing fast scales played on a modern piano and an eighteenth century fortepiano, the difference is enormous. Between two otherwise identical basses with slightly different bridges though.... 

That's kind of my point. I do wonder if anybody would notice the difference between the two in a blindfold test. The same goes for different woods used on a bass

By the time you've added some compression and other effects... I would imagine any difference would be completely lost.

I added a high mass bridge for aesthetic reasons

IMO that reason carries more weight than the oft claimed "sustain"  👍

Absolutely, as well as it's ease and range of adjustment.

Aye, that'll be 2 the other valid reasons 😃

 

Personally I don't hold with High Mass bridge = increased sustain .

 

Owned more than a few Peavey T-40s , bridge on those weighs over 1 lb.

 

If any of my T-40/45's sustained longer than any other bass , I certainly didn't notice.

Hello all.

After a few years in standby, im going back to play, and i tried one precision of a friend, and liked the sound, and he recommended me to by one of this for fun.

It look good, and after all the reviews and opinions, can prefectly be a great candidate.

 

I just would lime to know what is the string spacing of the bridge.

It basically will be used all the basis, and change the electronic (pu and pots).

Thanks
