New Old Stock (NOS) vintage inventory. Designed by legendary hardware innovator Trev Wilkinson, this NOS Wilkinson Fastback 4-String Bass Bridge is an ergonomic, high-mass bridge assembly engineered to maximize sustain, tonal clarity, and ease of maintenance.
Two-Tone High-Mass Architecture:
Built around a heavy-duty contoured baseplate finished in deep gloss black, this bridge features rounded side cheeks and four heavy chrome-plated zinc/brass die-cast saddles. The massive saddle blocks sit deeply recessed within precision-machined guide channels to eliminate side-to-side saddle wander and buzzing under heavy right-hand playing.
Fastback Quick-Release Keyhole Loading:
True to the "Fastback" design, the rear of each saddle slot incorporates an engineered drop-in keyhole string-loading channel. Strings drop into place from the top without threading through the back or scratching the faceplate, while the underside features recessed ball-end counterbores for direct mechanical anchoring against the bridge floor.
Fully Independent Precision Setup:
Each of the four saddles features independent adjustment: • Action / Radius: Dual top-access Allen/hex height adjustment screws per saddle. • Intonation: Center hex-drive locking and intonation screws for micro-fine scale compensation without slippage.
The underside is machined flat for maximum surface coupling against the bass body wood, secured by a sturdy 4-corner mounting screw pattern.
