WATCH THE YOUTUBE VIDEO BY MR. BABICZ AND FOLLOW HIS INSTRUCTIONS. I had no problems with fitment of the screws that came with the bridge. I installed this bass on a MIM Fender, a Geddy Lee, a '76 Jazz American. I followed his tutorial on youtube and never had an issue. Be sure to set your truss rod first, then you intonation, finally set the string height. Easiest and most accurate way to get a perfect set up. Best bridge I have ever owned, and I have owned them all. For the money, the returns are astronomical
First the to point out here is the fact that you can lock you saddles and cams. Once you take the time to set up your intonation and string height you tend to not want to fool with it every string change. I have used every bridge out there looking for the right bridge that could retain the settings that make playing comfortable for me. The fact that you can lock your intonation and string height (action) reduces the worry of being ready for a gig by half when it comes to your bass. I love the cams as the have more contact with the string, which in turn gives you more resonance. The full contact base plate ensures tonal transfer of vibration which means better sound from your body wood. Now you can really get the full tone of you swamp ash, mahogany, maple, etc. Since is is made of aluminum, it will not have the weight of a brass bridge, but that is made up by the contact of the base plate. It is made in Taiwan...so, when you hold this thing and use it on your bass, you will find the quality is very much present.
Durable, light weight, sturdy, and you can see and feel the attention to quality and detail. I don't care where it's made, they did a great job. All the pieces work well together and the fitment is exact.
For this price it is a paltry sum of money for the quality, tonal enhancement, increased resonance and sustain. The ease of adjustment is ridiculous.

This FCH bridge is the easiest replacement bridge I've ever had the pleasure to own/install/set up and fine-tune over ALL other bridges. The fact that you can lock in your string height and intonation settings puts it over the top, no worries about slipping out of settings you have made-they're locked in! Sound/tone quality is off the charts and is heard immediatly as well as the action on the fret-board: It's like NOW you can play the bas you always wanted-just by switchind out your old standard or previous bridge. Am getting one for my P-Bass in a couple of weeks!

As with most bass gear - taste is subjective. I played a P-bass with this FCH bridge, and tried it side-by-side with my own Badass-III-equipped USA P. I was sort of underwhelmed. It's a very interesting design, construction quality is top-drawer, and it's an improvement over the stock "twisted tin", but... it doesn't have the 'roid-rage sound of my Badass III. Turns out the FCH bridge is not available in brass or alloy-iron construction, and won't support thru-the-body stringing. And, it's a bit pricey for a non-USA-made aluminum bridge.

I'm planning a major modification to my sainted Music Man Stingray and wanted initially to install the FCH bridge, but I think I'll go with a Hipshot A or TransTone.

Bought this bridge as a replacement to the stock bridge on my Tobias.

It's lightweight aluminum help keep the bass light- which is a huge plus during a 3 hr. gig.

The locking mechanisms on both the intonation and the bridge saddles are my favorite features. I haven't swapped out strings yet but I have a feeling I'll be able to swap them all out at one time without having to worry about readjusting bridge height.

My only wish would be for more sustain- then again it's a light weight wood so I can't ask for everything.

I got this ONLY because it looked beefy & heavy and I assumed it was a USA made product so I was very bummed when I felt it's light aluminum weight in my hand. THEN I flipped it over and it says "Made in Taiwan" on it ! These are a few details their company left out of their description for good reason. So, my stock MIM bridge being junk I descide to give it a chance, keep it and install it. You have to remove the "E" and "A" string saddles to get the mounting screws in, ANOTHER thing they could have told me up front. It did however bolt right in and set up easy, intonation was a breeze as was height adjustment with the cam set up it has. I thought it would be hard to raise the string up under tension but there was hardly any load on the cams allen screw and I must admit it looks mechanical and cool on my bass. All in all if I knew these few things up front I would have FOR SURE got the Badass III which 2 of my bass playing buddies recommended but I, being a stubborn know it all, ignored their valuable input. They're the same price but I've heard the Badass III is built like a tank and weighs a TON and has great sustain. In my opinion, go with the Badass III , for what this is, the Babicz Bass Bridge is a WAY overpriced, OVERSEAS gimicky bridge. I went with the flashy NEW thingy when I shoulda stuck with what the pros are using ! My bad...not next time though.

Overall, I think, after buying my new bass, it was a really good decision buying this baby. It just doesn't make my bass look better but it makes the setup easier and more perfect and something very important, you don't have those awful vibrations from the stock bridge. Why do I keep saying more? Buy your own, you won't regret at all.
When I first saw this baby I knew it was a must-have bridge for my new 4 string Fender P Bass. I usually like the fancy stuff and this bridge has it all... It looks fancy, the eCAM saddles are just awesome. I don't know why people complaints about its installation when it's the easier thing to do (when you really know what you're doing). My bass now looks not just better than before, but also increased wood resonance on my bass...
Its quality is more than good. I really think Jeff Babicz spent a good time bringing this up. If I would recommend it? Yes!

I bought this to replace a Fender Deluxe J Bass bridge that had saddle pieces were starting to wonder. This Babicz bridge is a huge chunk of metal. Installing was a breeze...simple screw to screw. The holes matched up perfect. (Be advised the 5 string model of this bridge required some drilling on my MIM and American 5's...but was totally worth it!) Right away I noticed a HUGE increase in sustain. I also found it easier to dial in a sweeter tone on active basses I put it on...so tone transfer has increased. Intonation and string height adjustments are so easy and more accurate. As far as intonation issues other customers experience, I have not had any of those issues. After fully intonated with all sorts of string gauges, no problems yet and I still have plenty of room on the set screw...and I play a 5 string in B flat medium strings and a 4 in E Flat with heavy strings. Maybe they fixed the problem others talk about, but it's all good! I like how intonation and string height lock in place...very nice! Strings last about the same on this bridge...no breakage problems so far. My Badass bridge used to eat strings if I played heavy. I now own 2 of these and just ordered my 3rd for my new project bass and intend to buy other Babicz hardware for other guitars and stuff. Gonna try the strat bridge on my 93 strat plus. Keep you posted

I bought this bridge for my 75 fender presicion bass and it def. made a difference. The design is amazing especially compared to the old bridge on fenders. Very easily tunable. I play alot of grind/trash so i needed better action and this product helped that significantlly. Theres only one flaw i have found and thats is the top two mount holes are directly under top two intonation screws so i had to pulled those two pieces off and then i could get the mounting screws in. not really a big deal. overall the product is def. worth the money.

I put this bridge on MIM Fender Jazz Bass and I am quite pleased with the results.Clean and Clear intonation. I even have a better note when I tuneGreat harmonicsI am going to put one on my 1988 MIJ Fender Precision Bass I'll expect it to sound just as good.

This bridge is a solid piece of work! I was hesitant to purchase this essentially non-big name player in bass bridges but I rolled the dice because the saddle eCAMs seemed like a great idea; something new to guitar engineering (finally). I bought this bridge to replace my BadAss II Bridge (another fine bridge but decided to throw that on my inprocess project guitar). So my main bass gets this new techy bass bridge. And I'm happy so far. The eCAM saddles are awesome, smooth and even operation when comparing them to the typical double allen screw saddle setup of really all bridges on the market. They have literally full contact with the bass bridge which is connected to the body (see the visual picture). Overall, I noticed more resonance in the bass body and some added presence to the bass tone itself. However, quality get's a 4 due to the fact the saddle intonation is limited to where the stock mounting screws are; my E string (tuned to D#) CANNOT get perfect intonation because of that design flaw. I did not use the supplied screws because they had a tighter threading and were about 1/64" smaller in diameter compared to the stock screws. If I used the Babicz screws they would have messed up my mounting holes and made the entire procedure more work than necessary.But these are minor issue because the intonation is a mere fraction of a fraction off. So, Babicz, add better 5-cent mounting screws or add a scallop to the bottom of the eCAMs to accommodate the customer's own mounting screws we must maintain using."Only time will tell whether I continue with this bridge. The contacts between saddle and string is quite sharp so hopefully string breakage is at a minimum (which I rarely had a problem with on my BadAss II).
