Crafted from \"1-Tree\" (C Grade) treated maple, this bridge offers a reliable balance of durability and acoustic performance, featuring a regular grain structure typical of Despiau's quality standards. As a \"Precision\" model, it is engineered with a high heart position and a medium arch height, specifically tailored for basses with a quite high-angled fingerboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupplied as an unfitted blank, this bridge provides a small amount of wood above the heart, offering professional luthiers the necessary material to carve and voice the bridge to the instrument's unique requirements. This design allows for significant customization, enabling the luthier to optimize string action and vibration transfer to reveal the full acoustic personality of the bass. It is an ideal choice for players needing a taller bridge setup without compromising on structural integrity or tone.\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 Profile\u003c\/b\u003e – Traditional CT1 shape favored for its balance of clarity and warmth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHigh-Angle Design\u003c\/b\u003e – Features a high heart position to accommodate steep fingerboard angles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e1-Tree Maple\u003c\/b\u003e – Selected C Grade wood ensures consistent grain and long-term stability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePrecision Blank\u003c\/b\u003e – Designed with extra carving potential for custom luthier fitting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e4\/4 Sizing\u003c\/b\u003e – 158mm leg width fits standard full-size double basses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAcoustic Fidelity\u003c\/b\u003e – Treated wood maximizes sound transmission and responsiveness.\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 4\/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 158 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 BR24111-158\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Despiau","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42915802742850,"sku":"BR24111-158","price":109.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8925\/files\/medium_93255d2e-4a35-4ebe-b3b5-886eaacf3b4d.jpg?v=1768922133","url":"https:\/\/sweetheartdeals.com\/products\/despiau-4-4-158mm-1-tree-maple-french-bass-bridge-br24111-158","provider":"Sweetheart Deals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
