Authentic late-1980s Japanese factory hardware, this Vintage Kramer Forum II High-Mass 4-String Bass Bridge is a genuine factory pull from a Made in Japan Kramer Forum series bass. Manufactured during Kramer's celebrated Japanese production partnership with ESP, this heavy cast high-mass bridge delivers maximum string energy coupling to the instrument body for thunderous low-end response, extended sustain, and punchy note definition.
The baseplate is cast with the authentic recessed block-letter KRAMER trademark logo across the treble side. It features four substantial, contoured block saddles with precision-milled central string channels that prevent string jumping during hard picking or aggressive slap playing. Individual saddles feature full height adjustment and stable intonation alignment. The bottom surface incorporates recessed counterbores for a solid, flush mount against the instrument body. Complete with three original black mounting screws, this bridge is in very good player-grade vintage condition, showing light surface wear and minor finish rubbing consistent with age while remaining structurally rock-solid. It serves as a rare, correct replacement for restoring vintage Kramer Forum, Ferrington, or Pioneer basses, as well as a heavy-duty bridge for custom 4-string bass projects.
