Fender HiMass 4-String Bass Bridge Assembly, Zinc Saddles, Drop-In Replacement, Increased Sustain Resonance

Excellent bridge. The quality is good and it is heavy as one would expect from a "Hi-Mass" bridge. I am not entirely sure that changing a bridge is a game changer for a bass but feel relatively certain that it improved the tone and sustain of my bass. This was the final modification after installing an Audere Preamp and Bartolini pickups. The bridge fit on my Squier '70's vibe Precision Bass perfectly. The holes matched up exactly and it was very easy to install with no modification needed to the bass or the bridge. Be sure to remember that it is necessary to set your intonation after installing a new bridge. I held this against my old bridge and adjusted the string lengths so that the intonation would be close as soon as it was installed. The price was right and the quality is good. I am pleased.

This bridge is a quality piece in comparison to the standard bridge for my MIM Jazz Bass. It looks great, is well built, adds sustain and heft to the notes that wasn’t there before. It was a direct fit for my bass; just unscrew the old one, and screw this one in place and you are good to go. It looks good, and sounds good too! This is an awesome, easy upgrade for your ax.

Excellent bridge, easy to install and the bass sounds much better.

I purchased this as a replacement for the bridge and saddle assembly on a Player II Mustang PJ bass, mostly for aesthetic reasons, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. Installation was a breeze -- the screw holes align perfectly with the old bridge, so it was a simple matter of swapping out the bridge assemblies with no drilling involved. It took about 20 minutes total to install the new assembly, restring the bass and adjust the intonation. Not only does it look great, the saddles provide better sustain, so it sounds better as well.

Why doesn't Fender make these HiMass Bass bridges standard on all of their MIM Fender Precision and Jazz basses? I installed HiMass on a Fender Vintera 60's Jazz Bass. The stock bridge on the Vintera was definitely inferior and of lower quality than the HiMass. The Vintera's stock bridge featured old-school flat head screws for saddle height adjustment... which is annoying, because all of my other basses utilize the hex style.... like the HiMass. HiMass was simple, easy and quick to install. If my non-mechanical ass can install this bridge.... anybody can. Only thing needed was a phillips screwdriver and the hex wrench to raise/lower saddles after strings are reinstalled. Fender included screws for the HiMass. I've seen some reviews on the HiMass saying that screws were not included and original screws must be used.... this is false. The Fender Vintera sounds great after reinstalling Ernie Ball Cobalt Flat strings and tuning up with reverse-style tuners. I can get "super low" action with the new HiMass bridge without strings buzzing on the frets. I didn't think I could get a Fender bass with action as low as say... an Ibanez Soungear, but I've managed to pull it off with the HiMass. Overall... this is an easy, inexpensive, quality upgrade to any Fender MIM or Squire Precision or Jazz Bass guitar. Highly recommended.

Great bridge and fast delivery. Perfect upgrade to my Fender PJ bass. Quick set up and the extra mass does help with some sustain and control over the bent metal bridge that was stock.

I replaced the original bent piece of steel that made up my factory “Squire” bridge. Pros: Looks fantastic Holes line up perfectly, so no redrilling Lots of adjustment ( range ) for all needs Plated thick to help grounding underneath Cons: None really. Does it make your bass play or even sound better? A bridge is simply a mechanical device. Come play time, it doesnt add “warmth”. Get real. It simply needs to have the range of adjustment to intonate and help set the action height and proper alignment to the pickups. Now if the looks give you a warm feeling, fine. As stated, I like the improvement in ascetics. I think it looks great, and was willing to spend the money it.

Just put this on my Fender MIM P bass. Made by Fender for Fenders, fit is prefect. Set up was straight forward. Set the string height using Music nomad equipment small kit. The bridge made it so I could get the string action down to .075, no buzz. Used a tape measure to rough set intonation, before I put on the strings. (Check on line Fender has direction for that) I was lucky rough setting was very close so not much adjustment needed. I used a (Peterson strobe, strobo clip HD, clip on). Real like the bridge sounds great, looks great, I liked it enough that I just ordered another one for my Jazz bass. Buy one you won't be sorry.

Convient parfaitement pour une Squier Sonic PB. Sans perçage, s'adapte parfaitement. J'ai juste conservé les visses d'origine. Son plus précis et sustain amélioré

If you have a P bass, get this bridge. Fits perfect and is much higher quality than the stock bridge. No issues with it being too high, no need to shim the neck. Actually had to raise the saddles a bit and intonate it of course. Easy peasy. Dont bother with cheap bridges, tried a few and they suck.

Un colega afino un bajo standard como si fuera un 5 cuerdas. Me dejó el puente dobladisimo (gracias a Dios cedió el puente y no el mástil). Compré este como repuesto porque me parecía bonito pero he descubierto que me gustan más los patines modernos que los vintage. Mucho más sólidos. La base es tocha pero se ve imponente. A la mano el puente es cómodo y suave, sin posibles rascones (que provocan muchas veces los patines vintage). Muy contento

A really good direct replacement for a standard jazz-bass bridge. I've used this on a few different basses and it's an excellent replacement, considerably better in my opinion than the standard jazz bass bridge. It's also considerable cheaper than other 'heavy' hi-mass bridges. Direct replacement and very well-made.

Hat perfekt an meinen 2011er Squier P-Bass gepasst und ihn optisch sehr aufgewertet. Kein Vergleich zu dem billig wirkenden, originalen Blechwinkel. Bringt natürlich zusätzliches Gewicht an den Bass, auch wenn es kein riesiger Unterschied ist. Einzig die Saitenlage lässt sich nicht ganz so beliebig tief wie beim Original einstellen, da die massive Grundplatte schon recht dick ist.
