Musicmaster bass bridge upgrade12/2/2023 ![]() Each bridge has Duralumin light weight foundation with string saver grooves, HEAVY MASS PURE Bell BRONZE Barrel saddles (NOT Brass), (made from Russian orthodox church bell bronze), allow better contact with strings and increase sustain.Since duralumin is much lighter than steel, very malleable, and ductile, it can be made into many different aircraft components that are durable, yet not as heavy. The tensile strength of duralumin is higher than aluminum Duralumin is useful for aircraft construction because it is over 90 percent aluminum, which is very lightweight.It’s a very hard alloy with a good sonic resonance. It’s an alloy made up of 90% aluminum, 4% copper, 1% magnesium and 0.5% to 1% manganese. Duralumin is an alloy, a trade name given to the earliest types of the aged hardened aluminum alloys.AlBridge’s weight starts around 4 oz, thanks to its Duralumin construction.Primarily for Fender-style guitars, but can be used in place of most other string trees. No more tuning slippage! Just like the Bell Bronze saddles on the AlBridge bridge replacements, these string trees will increase your natural sustain, provide perfectly chimney tones, and prevent note slippage from bends or tremolo use. For example, see below for a friction coefficient comparison:īell Bronze has such a low friction coefficient when paired with Steel that your strings will glide effortlessly, like they are coated in natural lubricant. PURE Bell Bronze has perfect tension on strings and a nearly flawless friction coefficient (Steel and Bronze which only lists a lubricated value of 0.16). More often than not, the standard string trees will force your guitar out of tune when bending or using a tremolo arm, but the AlBridge string trees will prevent that while also enhancing the natural tone of your playing. These string trees are the perfect replacement for the generic metal string trees on your your Fender style guitar, or any guitar with string trees. I see the MMB grounds one side of the filaments like an old Champ does, you can do that without using the artificial centertap I mentioned, but an improved implementation (as far as reducing hum goes) would be to run the filaments balanced, with the artificial centertap.Introducing the latest development from AlBridge Parts, a 100% PURE Bell Bronze string trees. The two white leads are your 240V primary connections.As mentioned, you will need to add an artificial centertap connection to ground through two 100 ohm resistors. ![]()
