Its five-screw mounting system ensures a secure, direct drop-in fit, making it the perfect choice for bassists seeking a durable, professional-grade bridge with easy adjustability and a sleek look.

## Description

Add sustain, resonance and improved attack without significantly altering your tone when you add this precision manufactured HiMass bridge to your 4-string bass.

Review: Superb upgrade for cheaper basses - I've used these bridges on multiple builds from scratch and upgrades to standard Fender/Squier style basses. They're excellent value, consistent quality, look good and easy to adjust. The screws line up perfectly as an easy upgrade on Squiers with no additional drilling. Build quality is rock solid and the larger, flat design feels good under the hand. Adding a little extra weight at the back with a bridge like this can help to (slightly) improve neck heavy instruments and sustain. Just as good quality as the Gotoh bridges I've used in the past. Essentially, for the money, you can't ask for more. Buy with confidence! The only possible downside is the design doesn't encourage raising the saddles much so they suit basses with a neck that sits lower in the body, rather than vintage spec instruments with shallow neck pockets and a more protruding neck if that makes sense. The range of practical height adjustment is less than some other designs.
Review: Almost a straight swap-in - I have a `76 Fender Jazz bass and the bridge was looking a little tired. If I were using the bridge and pickup cover it wouldn`t matter, but I don`t use it as it restricts where you can play the strings. This bridge is much more solid and built to be seen. The screw holes are in exactly the right place, it`s a straight swap-in. There are no screws supplied so you have to use the 5 on the bass. The only issue was that after the swap, the action was maybe 3 or 4 mm higher at the 21st fret, which is way too high. Even with all the grub screw adjustment at the lowest, the saddles are way too high. Two options are possible: you could try to put a shim in the neck joint to alter the angle of the neck, or you have to file the saddle grooves down, in my case, a lot. I bought a set of luthier`s files and used the round ones to take the saddles down, maybe 4mm off the E saddle, maybe 2mm off the G saddle. Don`t do it all at once, take some metal off, refit and try it, bit more off, try it again. It's OK to take a bit more metal off than is necessary as you can then use the grub screws to raise the saddle a bit. Setting up the intonation is by using a cross-head screwdriver to adjust the saddle position back or forwards while checking the open and 12th fret tuning are both in tune. Do this for each string. I can`t get my head round why that is in different positions for each string, but it usually is! The look of the bass is much-improved and modernised. This bridge is sturdy and designed to be seen. A worthwhile upgrade, wish I`d thought of doing it sooner. You may well need those Luthier`s files, so have another tenner ready.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredible upgrade.
*by S***R on 6 November 2025*

I bought this bridge for a Fender copy bass that I use as a spare. It was a straight swap and the difference in sustain and harmonics over the cheap bridge that was on it is incredible. I’m surprised at how little it costs given the quality.
