Sean Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Do we know what aftermarket 4 string bridges can take a 130 string? I've tried Gotoh and Schaller but they're too small. Does anyone have any experience with Babicz or Hipshot 4 string bridges taking the 130? I've asked Bass Direct but haven't been able to get an answer yet. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fionn Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 A Hipshot Kickass 4 will take them. I just had a 4-string bass set up correctly in B-E-A-D with one. With the Kickass there are two sets of intonation screws, one set short, one set long. If you use the bridge B-E-A-D tuning, use the short screws and you’re fine. The tracks on the bridge are long enough to accommodate both tunings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionn Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 (edited) Here’s a photo of it with a 130. There were also two sets of brass saddles with mine, wide and narrow. Well designed to accommodate the suspension bridge cable string set … Edited September 20, 2023 by Fionn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
