These are killer. Had the Custom Shop been willing to install the mute system on the bass I am having quoted I certainly would have went with this. However, if it's a choice between modern sustain, and vintage goodness. Vintage goodness will win. A shame I had to choose. These not only sound great, they look sexy as hell.

That's a good looking High Mass Bridge. Image

Too bad they are not for sale in the Fender store. They should also be optional on any American Design Experience Bass.

As much as I like the so called "Vintage High Mass" bridge that came stock on my 2012 American Standard, it is an alloy casting. I'd most definitely replace it with the solid machined brass RSD, and string through the bridge only. :D

I have a real hard time getting worked up over a bridge. If it is intonated and stable then I'm happy with it. That is a nice bridge, but I'm not a big fan of high mass bridges. Too old school for that.

The best Fender bridge that I've actually tried out, was the '95-'99 American Standard. It looks like they're using the same saddles for this one.

This bridge was also used on American basses produced between 2000 and 2007.
