I've tried several well-known aftermarket bridges only to return to the original on my fretless J-Bass and MIJ P-Bass. Reason? The small barrels allow for lower height adjustment, the gnurled surfaces hold the strings securely, and the slotted height adjustment screws are easy to use. Unless you are a manic slapper, these bridges are rock-solid and the nickel barrels age nicely. There's a reason why this style has endured, and the genuine re-issue does feel a bit heavier than the "standard" look-alike found on MIM basses. Go for it.

I used this bridge to convert a 5 string bass into a 4 string. A first when I pulled it out of the box it seemed to be quite small and really light, I thought it would effect the sustain in a bad way... Yet it didn't. It's quite durable for being so light & Pretty wide string spacing on it that works great for the slap bassist's.
