Default bridge

I'm in agreement with Ken. If the maker knows that the bridge was wrong to begin with he should take care of the expense.
But, did you pressure him to turn it over too you before he was able to redo the bridge himself?

Oh, he's a top notch guy. In this case he said considering that there's a lot of thread left in the adjusters...He's paying someone to raise the bridge and then cut down on the G and D string side. Seems like a good idea.


500...That was just a guess. There's a bass store in Toronto where I had a bridge made for my old bass...They charged me 500 bucks...I know.
