<div class="bbWrapper">If the bridge is the very last item awaiting a lightweight replacement then you’re prolly chasing after the very last 2 or 3 ounces. Is it worth it ? It’s a great bridge and the weight is in the best possible location balance-wise. If you do alter the bridge material you might also alter the sound cuz the bridge is where all the string vibration is anchored. <br /> <br /> There are tone freaks out there in Bassland replacing pot metal or lightweight stamped steel bridges with heavy solid brass bridges.</div>
