Hi Ken

Thanks I appreciate your honest response and I tend to agree on this whole thru-body stringing business. It doesn't add one iota to the sound or feel in my experience. A good solid bridge, nut and decent wood should provide enough sustain for most people. I think older Fender bridges were quite flimsy so they have gone this way for as you say some kind of compensation. It's a shame because I do really like my P Bass, it is just let down slightly by this inflexible bridge design.

I think I'll just have to persevere with it.

Cheers

Keith
