Product Description
Imagine the perfect bridge for a solid body stringed instrument. It would have to be rock solid with no moving parts and no parts to vibrate. The set up would have the optimal playing height for each individual player and a huge amount of string contact to allow string tone to absorb into the body of the instrument and make the instrument sound whole. I envisioned one solid chunk of metal, but the problems are obvious; non-adjustment and weight.
The KSM Foundation™ Bass Bridge was designed to achieve the benefits of a single solid piece, but also to be fully adjustable for each individual player. The bridge utilizes a patented ramp system that allows for precise adjustments and maximizes the transfer of string-to-body vibrations. This improved string-to-body contact gives the instrument exceptional brightness and clarity.
