I had Partsland BS-41 bridge in my Edwards Forester.

After changing to this bridge, adjusting intonation became walk in the park. Not sure if its due to the bridge or the fact that I've also applied pencil to the nut, but tuning stability greatly increased. Bass started to sound more aggressive.

I set it to lowest action possible and got a rattling sound. If you have the same problem, put your finger on a saddle and pluck the string to find which saddle is vibrating against the bridge. After that tighten height adjusting screws just a bit, without any noticeably lifting string height, if you balance both screws correctly, rattling should be gone.

Well worth it
Michael W. 151 23.05.2017
I bought the Schaller 3D to help change the balance on an otherwise good but neck-diving Ibanez Talman bass. Schaller Light heads were the other half of the balance change.

The bridge added 170g to the body end as the heads took off the same from the head. The balance is now excellent.

Needless to say, the Schaller 3D is a far better bridge than the stock one. The bottom end is now much more solid - particularly important on a short-scale bass.

And the ability to move the adjust the strings sideways to set the spacing as you want is very useful - in my case a very welcome benefit.

The bridge is properly engineered, very solid and does a great job. Better still, it just drops in - highly recommended.

A Bridge I've used for numerous basses
Iakovos K 19.01.2020
I've used this bridge for a lot of basses I've modified or created through the years and this one seems to be the most versatile.
It has the horizontal adjustment in spacing, practically making any spacing you want, it makes the playing very smooth and sounds really great, it adds to the sound of the pickups like really good bridges do. 10/10

Aa
... now the bass is better
Alexander aus U. 16.08.2014
I was looking for a replacement bridge for a cheaper bass.
The neck was ok, the old bridge itself was ok, but the string spacing did not match.

This bridge was designed to be flexible and this is what you get.
You can change e.g. the string spacing much more than with any other bridge I've seen up to now.
An extra metal plate, three millimeters high, allows for using it on basses which need a higher bridge.
It's massive, easy to use, and - in my opinion - it looks good.

At the end of the day, for me the bass is much more worthy now.
So, also the price is right.

3D adjustment for awkward geometries
Shedman2401 07.02.2022
I have used these bridges to correct for design issues on both Fender (Longhorn Jazz) and custom built instruments. Fine adjustment coupled with solid construction.

MY
Solid and adjustable, maybe a bit too adjustable
Max Y. 03.11.2022
Used this one a custom fretless. The five screw attachment is solid, the intonation and height settings are fine, the curve is a bit extreme but not disturbing. Ended up not using the base plate - it's very useful to be able to set two different height profiles for the whole bridge with or without it. Holds tuning and sustains well.

My one gripe is the spacing adjustment - useful in theory, but in practice the little rollers move a bit too easily, and they are somewhat annoying, especially during restringing.

Goodie!
chocobloc 06.09.2021
Super heavy, super quality. It's just right if your bass needs the extra weight at the bottom. Easy on the eye, easy to mount and adjust. This product is another good reason why I like Schaller. Why only 4 stars? Because you still need to fiddle strings through holes rather than to just hook them on the bridge. I'll keep it anyways.

great brige
fran_jo 22.05.2020
Great bridge that is highly adjustable.
You still need to be aware that roller bridges have a limited width of string gauge allowed so go the schaller website to further info

When the Fender Musicmasters came off the production line in the seventies THIS is the bridge they should have had! The 3D adjustment capability makes it possible to set the intonation properly on a short scale bass guitar. Fabulous piece of kit!

You can't really go wrong with the schaller bridges. They may be a bit pricier than some others but I've never found another bridge that can match them in quality.

They are really well designed in terms of ergonomics and adjustability (I prefer a narrower string spacing so this was my main reason for swapping the bridge on my P/J).
