The BB404 dual-loading bass guitar bridge is made in the same factory as all of our Wilkinson Hardware, ensuring outstanding quality. It's perfect when you need the versatility of two string loading methods. Featuring both string-thru holes as well as the ability to top load the strings, this bass bridge ensures you're always able to satisfy the player's needs.

Top Loading

When top loading, the strings are top mounted to the back of the bridge, which means a slightly lesser string tension than that of a through body. This will make the guitar sound more resonant and lively, improving the overall tone of your bass guitar.

String Thru

When using a string thru bass bridge, you'll have increased tension versus that of a top-loading bridge, which some players prefer as it gives you a more stable playing platform, particularly when you're plucking with your fingers. It comes down to personal preference which you prefer, as both will sound equally great, just different.
