We compared four different types of bass bridges on the same four string Precision-type bass (Warmoth parts). Can you hear the differences in sound? Soundfiles & video: Thomas Meinlschmidt

to each his own, I like the vintage threaded saddle bridge

@enriquekikzdelapazbichain1126 9 месяцев назад

Winners for me the Omega and the Gotoh201!

@TenFalconsMusic Год назад

The main attribute to the Babicz is the ability to lock in the settings. That alone is worth the price of admission in my humble opinion. The fact that it's far more comfortable (lack of sharp edges in comparison to the stock bridge) makes a massive difference in playability. As for tone, a decent DI/PreAmp will solve any issues regardless of what bridge you use. In summary, I prefer the Babicz, but ultimately no bridge will make you a better/worse bass player.

I keep the original vintage plate but put 100% brass Guyker saddles & intonation screws (metric, Fender being Imperial)...same as Fenders modern saddles with 3 string gooves, the bottom of the barell is flat....great sounding & for some weird reason they sit lower than the original saddles...lower action...i could never get low action with the vintage original bridge...also no grub screws stabbing my hand now as they sit perfect after changing the 2 outer saddles grub screws, E & G, for shorter grub screws of an old Trevor Wilkinson vintage bridge, they are all just sub-flush...only took me 45 years to discover...lol...i like the tone of the Bad Ass ll with brass inserts....most of my bass's have brass nuts, works for me...good demo....

awesome comparison, thanks!

@kiwibass Год назад

Nice video - thanx a bunch! 👍

@mikaso 2 года назад

Thanks for another great comparison video, much appreciated! Can't really hear much difference, but I can understand why some would prefer the Allparts high-mass (badass-type) bridge.

@Ivan.8067 Год назад

Gostei da ponte Omega ✅ Valeu por postar a comparação 👍🏻

@theaugust1851 10 месяцев назад

Wow…all different. Love simple vintage but that Babicz has got some balls.

@elabuelo9503 Год назад

Omega 😍

@innocentoctave Год назад

A very useful comparison. The two Gotohs sound as good as anything here. The 201B might be slightly more musical, but the Vintage has adjustable string spacing. I think I would go for the Vintage, since it's also the lightest. I hear no justification for the added weight of the Omega, or the extra cost. The Babicz in this application seems to be a triumph of design over function: it sounds no better than the Gotohs - if anything, it seems slightly muffled - and costs way more.

@yuriibelan9132 Год назад

In my opinion,Omega is number one.)

@Ivan.8067 Год назад

Também gostei 👉🏻👍🏻

i would be more interested to know how different bridges feel in the pluck hand/playing wise, string tension etc

@jkf9167 Год назад

Best-sounding: everything but the Babicz. Probably the vintage-style Gotoh. My favorite: the Omega. I like to put high-mass bridges on my basses because I like the feel. Objectively, they sound no better and are no more reliable than vintage-style, but I like them anyway, and that grooved Omega is the best. Also, basses balance better if you put a big bridge and lightweight tuners on them.

@cdlytle 7 месяцев назад

I’d never heard of the Omega and it was my favorite one. Much fuller low end

@paulsnijder2031 2 года назад

Great comparison, I do hear a difference. Just a few things to add. Only the saddles on the Gotoh 201b are brass the baseplate is Zinc just like the Omega. A lot of times the Babicz is refered to as a high mass bridge(incorrect) when in fact it's one of the lightest bridges due to the aluminium construction. To me the vintage bridge for old school stuff/all around and the Omega for modern stuff. I like the Babicz design but the sound is a little thin IMO.

@davelock3166 2 года назад

Great video and it shows me what I suspected all along. Very little difference. Apart from how pretty they are.

@studiokoncart8795 Год назад

Omega!

@dolfanrob262 6 месяцев назад

I like the Omega

@CommunRyder 7 месяцев назад

The original vintage bridge sounds surprisingly good to me. Prefer the Gotoh 201, and makes me have doubts about the stock Babicz on my Gibson EB 2014

@chcegrubalapa 8 месяцев назад

Omega like a bell:)

@deadheadcentral2514 Год назад

I would care more about a intonation and tuning stability long term review because that’s far more important for me when gigging

@adarvas Год назад

The description for the vintage bridge says it's brass. Is it?

@jonathanchevallier7046 2 года назад

Hard to hear a difference in term of sound, maybe a little more medium for the old school bridge ? A difference on sustain too. Have you notice a difference in feeling, comfort and playability ?

@thewetterbass 2 года назад

Vintage: mids, Gotoh: body, omega/badass: attack, Babicz: definition… 😬

@meiji.. Год назад

IMO I have a theory that the little difference in sound might be because there is a difference in string stiffness knowing of how the strings sit differently each bridge. And because it feels different, you play differently (for example you might want hit the string harder as string stiffness goes up), resulting in difference in sound. Compare the fingerstyle comparison vs the slap comparison, and notice how much more insignificant the differences between the bridges are when slapping.

@curtrod 7 месяцев назад

I can hear it

@fuckyoutube4 2 года назад

Seems that the more fancy the bridge is, the more muddy the sound gets.

@elcomberro123 Год назад

I have and I've tried fender high mass bridge, hipshot kickass, gotoh alike steel bridge, kluson vintage bridge and Babicz 3 point for thunderbird and noticed the same thing. If your bass is bright and have lack of low and highmass bridge may help a little, If you change standard bridge for hi-mass style and noticed muddy sound, I'll recomend to change strings for those with exposed core like Dean Markley sr2000.

@curtrod 7 месяцев назад

I agree

@tscardinal 6 месяцев назад

Byproduct of installing a fresh set of strings for the first bridge and then removing the tension from them and reinstalling them on the subsequent bridges

@tonyirons4935 6 месяцев назад

⁠@@tscardinalthat changes the character of the strings’ tone? I had no idea but physically I can see how that would make sense

@riisk-on Месяц назад

The diference is very small. If you want diferent tone, its Better buy a equalizer

@Bradipop1 7 месяцев назад

In spite of its more modern technology and the much vaunted and publicized greater contact points and greater surface area to transmit the vibrations of the strings to the body, the Babicz, to my ears, is the one that sounds worst of all and the most anonymous in sound! !! 🤣

The Gotoh vintage bridge is made out of steel, not brass.

Hi Rainer, vielen Dank für den tollen Vergleich. Mein persönlicher Favorit ist die goldene GÖLDO HW50-B mit 197 g. Ich spiele sie auf 5 meiner 12 Bässe...
