This was purchased as a replacement for a cheap upright that had a bridge that was warped. My only concern is that the wood doesn't seem to be a very hard maple if it is even maple. Hard to tell what type of wood it is, but I've worked with maple before and this wood is clearly softer than a good hard maple. A real hard wood wouldn't allow you to easily use your fingernail to mar the wood but you can do that on this bridge. It also was much easier to sand it down to size than it should have been. If I was using this on a good bass for a good player it wouldn't be acceptable but because it was just for a kid that wanted to play around on a bass then it works and was cheap. You get what you pay for so know that going in. This isn't good enough for a concert player, but will serve its purpose for a person just starting as it will likely warp within a year or two if you cut it down to the right thickness.

I think this bridge is a great option if you are on a budget. If you're playing a plywood bass or student level bass and have a broken or unusable bridge - then this is a nice affordable option. I paid 12 bucks, and this has all the correct dimensions, and shape/size is perfect. My only complaint is the wood species. Although this wood is maple, it is NOT hard maple (sugar maple). Based on the color and density of the wood it is almost certainly soft maple (red leaf maple). I have 10+ years experience working in a woodshop. My dad owns a woodshop. I have made all sort of furniture out of wood and I know my wood species very well. The maple we buy in the wood business comes in 2 varieties: Hard maple and soft maple. Hard maple is more white in color and more dense. Soft maple is more reddish in color and less dense. The bridge I received is very reddish color with streaks of dark gray. I believe this bridge is still usable, but because of the density will give you a softer, darker tone rather than the louder/brighter tone from a hard maple bridge. But for 12 bucks? What is there to lose? Give it a shot and see if you like it.

At $12 or so this bridge is almost disposable. That is, if you make a mistake and have to start over your not out that much. Most of the expense will be in your time, fitting the bridge to the bass. Im picky so spent lots of time on the little finishing touches to all the raw scroll saw cuts and square edges. The look of the wood was a little suspect (see pic). Lots of variation in the grain but still quartersawn maple as described. The wood also seems softer then expected, as you could easily mark it with a fingernail. This bridge seems to sound a little darker and less loud than the adjustable bridge it replaced. Could be just my perception or something I missed in shaping the bridge. Could not compare weight to the adjustable one because of the metal inserts. The feet were very close to the shape of the top of the bass, so it was relatively easy to sand to fit. I cut quite a bit off the top of the bridge so it was pretty thick at the string saddles, 5-6mm or so. Bottom line - this is essentially a cheap blank. Whether this works or not will largely be up to your skill in fitting to your bass.
