Gotoh 201B-4 C Bass Bridge

Fitted to replace a Fender Vintage bridge. Didn't like the small ridges in the saddles and this bridge has made it easier to intonate and set action.

I bought this bridge to install on my P Bass. While its very sturdy and robust and very well machined, it is also bigger and thicker. It would generally be considered a good thing compared to the stock bridge, but in this case, the plate with the barrels (that are bigger diameter than stock), together raise the overall action. Even when lowered fully, I couldn’t set the desired action. So, two options then: shim the neck at 0.25 / 0.50 degrees or find another bridge. At the end, I chose the latter.
