Installation Notes:
This bridge arrives as a raw, non-fitted blank — feet, arch, and height require professional carving to match your bass's curvature and neck angle. Accurate fitting ensures proper sound transmission and structural alignment. The medium-heart design offers robust tonal performance, making it especially suited for players needing balance across registers.
