 These standard "fixed" bridges are made of a high grade of densely-grained maple, which can be seen in the photo to the left. Ready to be cut, shaped and fitted to your instrument.
Instructions are included:
I will be glad to include my personal notes with tips on installing a double bass bridge! I am also glad to chat with you via email or on the phone if you have any questions. Installing a bridge isn't brain surgery, but does require careful planning and execution. Do you already have an adjustable or regular bridge that needs to be installed, or do you want to get an idea of the process?? Let me know and I'll send you the instructions via email, no obligation.
Bridge Measurements (approx.) from bridge feet center to center:
| 3/4 size: |
4 inches |
| 1/4 size: |
3 3/4 inches |
| 1/2 size: |
3 7/8 inches |
| 7/8-4/4 size: |
4 3/4 inches |
This Bridge is TOO
BIG???
That's to be expected! Double basses
have different neck angles, which results in the need for different
sized bridges -- you can't buy a bridge "off the shelf" to
immediately fit your bass. All bridges require fitting. I include
instructions to advise you how to trim the top and feet of the bridge
to fit your instrument.
How can I be sure I have the
right size bridge?
If you look or feel inside through the E string f-hole, you will find
the Bass Bar; it runs parallel to and below the E string. If
you measure from the middle of the bar to the mid-point of the bass
and double the measurement, you now know the proper measurement of
the bridge's feet when measured from center to center. Choose a
replacement bridge in that range (most basses are 3/4 size,
approximately four inches from the center point of each foot ) with a
height larger than your current bridge.
Will it fit a 5 STRING BASS or a 4/4 BASS?
Quite often, yes. This bridge is suitable for the Bulgarian five
string basses I sell and has been found to fit many others. Bass
sizing is not an exact science, so you should measure your existing
bridge, and the bass itself, using the info in the paragraph above. |

Here is what some of our customers think about this product:

This site is ALWAYS the first choice for everything I need for upright bass. My first order I called and left a message for Bob, he called me back promptly and answered all my questions regarding bass bridge replacement so, I bought his adjustable bridge and set it up as well as pro. I appreciate that I see Bob on message boards and blog sites lending his opinion and insight into all things BASS. What he has provided for bassists of all levels is nothing short of amazing, philantropic and innovative. This IS the "one stop" bassists need, truly. Thanks Bob.
