Condition: New Old Stock (NOS) / Unused Factory Inventory
Authentic NOS OEM Washburn 5-String High-Mass Electric Bass Bridge in brilliant mirror-gloss gold plating. Sourced from original factory warehouse inventory, this heavy-duty bridge is genuine factory stock for high-end Washburn 5-string electric basses (including the XB-500, XB-925, Force 5, and Bantam series) and serves as an exceptional high-mass upgrade for custom 5-string bass projects.
High-Mass Cast Foundation:
Engineered with a heavy-density cast alloy baseplate and integrated raised side rails, this assembly locks the saddle array solidly in place, eliminating side-to-side saddle wandering and buzzing under heavy string attack. The high-mass structure increases string-to-body vibrational coupling, enhancing low-end clarity, note attack, and overall sustain across the entire register.
Quick-Release Drop-In Saddles:
The five solid block saddles feature precision-machined top-loading keyhole slots. Strings drop in directly from the top without threading through the back or risking scratches to the gold finish, enabling fast, hassle-free string changes on stage or in the studio.
Micro-Adjustable Intonation & Height:
• String Height & Radius: Dual top-access black Allen hex adjustment screws on each individual saddle.
• Intonation: Independent spring-tensioned black Phillips intonation screws with deep channel travel to dial in scale length from low-B through high-G strings.
