I thought the standard floating bridge height was 3/32"?

Just bought the same bridge for my Jazz Bass (2011 American Special). Waiting for my new set of LaBella flats to get here so can do everything at once. Looks like it’ll be an easy swap.

Really don't see the point of swapping to that bridge. You've gained nothing and lost mass in the bridge. If you were going to make it a string thru body, fair enough but you're still stringing from the back off the bridge. The saddles sit so high on the new one as well, you're going to lose a lot of the string vibration that transfers through the body. Honestly man, total downgrade.

Angled through-body loading allows flat wounds to be passed through the body without damage due to the severity of the angle over the bridge saddles. As far as I know the BB is the only bass that has this feature.

So how do you determine if the neck needs to be shimmed ? How do you measure the neck angle ?

Nice bass, nice new bridge 👍

Why not keep the bridge and change the saddles.

Dewalt GyroMax is the Boss! Saved my wrists a lot of strain.

Got a 24" long heating pad from the Amazonian, don't know if it will get hot enough but Ill increase the time it's on so the neck heats thru. Have to correct a humped neck so that may increase the possibilty of success, working with string tension rather than against it. Fingers crossed!

nice content

Put the exact same bridge on my fender MIM Mustang bass. It made a big difference in the sound.

The new bridge looks better! Love the brass saddles.

DON'T LET THIS GUY TOUCH YOUR BASS !

your action is way too high ! 3/64 on low E , then 2.5/64 on G string @17th fret FOOL

I think this bridge upgrade was worth it for you because you like the result. For my own basses, I have never replaced a bridge that wasn’t actually broken in some way.

Nice!

I love the new bridge!!!!! the brass saddles are killer!!!

be careful when using power tools, screws can strip or even break!!!!

Let me guess. Someone installed an under saddle piezo and didn't account for the thickness of the pickup

Just switch the saddles out. They should fit on the high mass.

buying an expensive guitar built to the specs of a deas guy ? No Thanks I'm Good.

stock bridge better than hi brass

Have you ever tried this with a neck bowed the other way? I have a humped neck, forward bow? Dual action truss rod, clockwise increases the forward bow, CCW flattens the neck but not enough. So if I emulate your method here I would get the truss rod adjusted so it's not engaged in either direction, secure the body and the peg head and with a clamp at 7th or 8th put a bow in it in the relief direction, back bow? (I can never keep them straight, no pun!) Then I would tighten the truss rod CCW to the stop, leave it and cross my fingers. I might want to do your hot bag of rice heat treatment as well, or a couple heating pads, given the 2024 price of rice lol! What do you think?

Hi, it would be handy to show how you adjust at each of the 5 steps if it not quite right thanks.

Misspelled Squier on your wall art?

I just installed that Himass on my Player P today and so far I’m loving it…. Which it also has brass saddles, just not the brass colour

Have it! Is my goto

Steve, thank you for your video and teaching! You are great at explaining and illustrating how to follow a system for setup and the works. I bought your gauges and love them. Is it better to correct to intonation after the strings are played a bit given the strings settling after a fresh set? I have a PRS SE Tremonti Charcol Burst Flame Top and really like the neck and how it plays. I installed PRS locking turners to help with tunning stability, but it doesn't seem to make that much of a difference. I wonder if changing out the nut to tusq or bone would make a difference. I don't really know what the nut is made of that some on this model of guitar, but thought it might be part of the problem. Nut action is pretty much dead on at the 0.018 inch. Neck relief is bang on, too. I did adjust a couple saddles during intonation and you method worked great, too. I love the PRS SE Tremonti and would love to get a Tremonti Signautre, but that is a lot of cabbage, but until then, I really love this SE Tremonti. Thank you again for your videos and explainations. You are the best! Jon (Erie, PA). AFTER THOUGHT, where could I purchase the style of feeler gauages you use. Love you workshop!

Man that video explained a whole lot. Thanks a bunch. Extremely helpful.

You should wire up the Ric-o-sound output jack - it’s available online!

very cool .

I’m definitely liking the brass saddle bridge

Oh….you certainly are making the right choice Steve….that’s for sure!🎸👍

No it’s a floater. You should be able to go a half a step sharp.

Brass

Cool video

Brilliant idea. You should sell these!

I have found that just tuning up a step and let the guitar set for about and hour occasionally strumming it vigorously. I also have found that using graphite powder on the nut also helps also put some on the on the string trees if it has them.

Just pull on by hand it’s just another gadget to have to spend money on😊

I use mine every string change now. They really do get things to a stable tuning faster IMO. This is probably nit-picky, but my only concern would be the metal rollers actually hitting frets by accident -- especially when getting closer to the neck. --M :)

Gonna give this a go w a 91 Les Paul studio . Thanks Friend!

There is always room for improvement on any products 👍👍

That is and excellent improvement....when will they be on sale?

Mine broke after a month.

If the owner wants to sell, I am keen. All the best from Gosford in Aus.

I seen a video a year or so ago of Tom Weber who was Edward Van Halen's tech using this product. If it's good enough for the pros it's good enough for me.

I like the (no slip) "Block-Lift" for the Dunlop Neck Rest.

Was wondering this myself , as was convinced I could feel it on my tele with them . Wanted to add them to my strat . I weighed them and without the collar & nut , washer - locking ones are a whole 1g more each ! I just reused the original fender collar / nuts . Maybe the locking collar/ nuts are slightly heavier , but looked identical to me.

More plastic for the landfill! I’ll do it the old fashioned way, with my hands! Thanks for sharing though Steve!

I bought a couple so I can alternate between strings that way they don’t heat up doing multiple strings at a time. Definitely saves my fingers
