Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this bridge fit my Fender Jazz Bass?

Yes, the SAGA18 is specifically designed as an aftermarket replacement for Fender Precision and Jazz Bass guitars. It uses the standard mounting pattern that fits most bass guitars without modification, including Fender, Squier, and other manufacturers that follow traditional bass bridge specifications.

How do I adjust the intonation with this bridge?

Each string saddle adjusts independently using a small screwdriver or Allen wrench (depending on your specific saddle screws). Move the saddle forward or backward until the 12th fret harmonic matches the 12th fret fretted note perfectly. This process ensures your bass plays in tune across the entire neck.

What tools do I need to install this bridge?

Installation typically requires a screwdriver set and possibly a drill if you need to create new mounting holes. Most installations use existing bridge mounting holes, making this a straightforward swap. If you're uncomfortable with guitar modifications, any guitar technician can install this bridge quickly.

Does this bridge improve sustain compared to stock bridges?

The solid construction and proper string contact points can improve sustain compared to worn or poorly designed original bridges. However, sustain depends on multiple factors including neck joint, body wood, and string quality. This bridge provides a stable platform for optimal energy transfer from strings to the instrument body.

Will the gold finish wear off over time?

The gold finish is applied over a durable base metal and designed for regular playing use. While heavy pick attack directly on the bridge or acidic sweat can cause some wear over years of use, normal bass playing and occasional cleaning will maintain the finish appearance for extended periods.
