WHAT IS IT?

Imagine the perfect bridge for a solid body stringed instrument. It would have to be rock solid with no moving parts and no parts to vibrate. The set up would have the optimal playing height for each individual player and a huge amount of string contact to allow string tone to absorb into the body of the instrument and make the instrument sound whole. I envisioned one solid chunk of metal, but the problems are obvious; non-adjustment and weight.

The KSM Foundation™ Bass Bridge was designed to achieve the benefits of a single solid piece, but also to be fully adjustable for each individual player. The bridge utilizes a patented ramp system that allows for precise adjustments and maximizes the transfer of string-to-body vibrations. This improved string-to-body contact gives the instrument exceptional brightness and clarity.

The KSM Foundation™ Bass Bridge is designed to be installed on many new or used bass guitar brands, such as: Fender, Ibanez, Spector, BC Rich, Jackson and Tune Guitar Technology. The bridge is also favored by builders and luthiers that require the best style and tone for their instruments. Please call or email if you have any questions regarding any of our products.
The KSM Foundation™ Bass Bridge is born to achieve the benefits of a solid mass, but also have adjustabilty. It utilizes a patented ramp system that allows precise adjustablility and maximizes string contact to saddles. The ramp and adjustment bolts lock into position to prevent any part from moving after final adjustments are made. The weight issue is solved by using a very strong aircraft aluminum which is also a very resonant material. The KSM Foundation™ bridge is the best on the market for what it does. It sets notes free!

I thought the difference would be subtle compared to a stock "classic" bridge. I was wrong! Instantly noticeable, notes have more clarity and far better sustain. This combined with locking in my intonation and action. I’m sold.
