Thank you

Installed on 1910 European Upright Bass. Plank was plenty large enough and made of hard wood, used a ban saw to cut to size, a sander for the edge, and some small files for the string grooves. Very solid piece of wood, from what I can tell its the exact same thing "specialty" bass shops are selling on their website for 60 to 90 bux each. Will buy again

Compared with a more expensive ($70) one and the wood was of the same quality.

I think this bridge is a great option if you are on a budget. If you're playing a plywood bass or student level bass and have a broken or unusable bridge - then this is a nice affordable option. I paid 12 bucks, and this has all the correct dimensions, and shape/size is perfect. My only complaint is the wood species. Although this wood is maple, it is NOT hard maple (sugar maple). Based on the color and density of the wood it is almost certainly soft maple (red leaf maple). I have 10+ years experience working in a woodshop. My dad owns a woodshop. I have made all sort of furniture out of wood and I know my wood species very well. The maple we buy in the wood business comes in 2 varieties: Hard maple and soft maple. Hard maple is more white in color and more dense. Soft maple is more reddish in color and less dense. The bridge I received is very reddish color with streaks of dark gray. I believe this bridge is still usable, but because of the density will give you a softer, darker tone rather than the louder/brighter tone from a hard maple bridge. But for 12 bucks? What is there to lose? Give it a shot and see if you like it.

Having bought one, I can't recommend this bridge. It arrived from China, 13 days after I ordered it, which is pretty good, but when I got it out of the package and looked at it, it was made from discolored wood with dark streaks that you usually don't see on bass bridges, which in view of its low price I could have lived with, but there was also a transverse crack in that wood, running about four-fifths of the entire width of the bridge, which I can flex the bridge enough with my fingers to open. Bottom line is that the strength of this bridge has been compromised enough by that crack that it can't be used for its intended purpose.
