WHUFC BASS Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 3 hours ago, Ricky Rioli said: 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine any difference would be completely lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markolinni Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
