Bridge

[Derrick Fernandez]

Hello everyone.

Recently I picked up a very old bass (probably 19c) for not much money with the hopes of bringing it back to a playable state. I have a few questions for the experts about the practicality of reworking this instrument, but I will leave that for the next post, don't want to ramble on with my 1st post.

Anyway, the attached image shows the bridge that came with this bass. It has a different cut from the usual.

Can anyone educate me on this style of bridge?

Thanks!
D
