AP International introduced the Ray Ross Bass Bridge, a retrofitting bridge. Rather than utilizing a traditional saddle for string break, the Ray Ross features a tone pin that keeps the string completely straight from the bridge to the nut, providing increased vibrational energy throughout the strings and the body of the instrument. The unique design applies nearly 100 percent of the string tension downward, allowing the string to resonate freely, giving the cleanest possible path from the fi ngertips to the ears. With all of the string tension directed downward, the Ray Ross allows maximum transference to the instrument, making the most of the bass itself. Made of solid brass, the residual tone from the bridge is articulate, resonant and full-bodied.
