Carved from \"1-Tree\" (C Grade) maple, this bridge offers a balance of quality and value, featuring wood selected for its regular grain and reliable acoustic properties. As a \"Precision\" model, it is engineered with a medium arch height and a high heart position, leaving a specific allowance of wood above the heart to accommodate custom shaping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bridge is supplied as an unfitted blank, intended for a professional luthier to carve and fit. The design provides ample material for the luthier to perfect the curve and thickness, allowing them to tune the bridge to the specific \"acoustic personality\" of the bass. Its geometry is particularly useful for achieving the correct string action on basses where standard bridges might be too low, ensuring optimal playability and sound transmission.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFrench Design\u003c\/b\u003e – Features the classic French profile (CT1) preferred by many orchestral and jazz players.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHigh-Angle Geometry\u003c\/b\u003e – Specifically shaped with a high heart position to suit basses with steeper fingerboard angles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e1-Tree Quality\u003c\/b\u003e – Made from C Grade treated maple, offering consistent grain and durability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLuthier Blank\u003c\/b\u003e – Precision model with extra wood allowance for custom carving and voicing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOptimized Resonance\u003c\/b\u003e – Crafted to maximize vibration transfer and reveal the instrument's true tone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eStandard Fit\u003c\/b\u003e – 150mm leg width fits standard 3\/4 size double basses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Treated Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eInstrument:\u003c\/b\u003e Double Bass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 3\/4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eGrade:\u003c\/b\u003e C Grade (1-Tree)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e CT1 (French Precision)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLeg Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 150 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart Position:\u003c\/b\u003e High\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eArch Height:\u003c\/b\u003e Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eProduct Code:\u003c\/b\u003e BR24111-150\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Despiau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42915801759810,"sku":"BR24111-150","price":109.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8925\/files\/medium_17892209-69be-4cf6-8501-b820c7c688d3.jpg?v=1768922016","url":"https:\/\/sweetheartdeals.com\/products\/despiau-3-4-150mm-1-tree-maple-french-bass-bridge-br24111-150","provider":"Sweetheart Deals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
