Single string bridges

[Metalmoore]

I have been looking at string through single string bridges as a possibility in a warmoth custom jazz and was wondering how you would ground them. Also has anyone got them? I read somewhere that the saddle/string can break easily due to the angle when strung through and also wondering if they are any good.

Also I think it looks great, every time I go onto the shuker site and see that orange/red bass with those single saddles I think they look great...

Any advice or experience's would be great.

Ground one of the saddles and use a brass nut to get the rest grounded?

Brass nut for grounding, or ground all the machine heads together with a strip of copper on the back of the headstock. I just have a copper strip between mine. No breakage troubles.

I like the copper strip idea, one 5mm strip from the E to G tuners going under the A and D. If your 100% that it works then I think I don’t have to worry about the grounding issue, I am assuming I still need to ground one saddle to the jack/preamp.

Its all the same elctrically. coated strings might do you no favours though. test with a meter.
