Gibson / Epiphone bass bar bridge - second version. Part number BR-655CH. Chrome. Notice the curved mounting arms. Like the previous version, an approximation of intonation could be achieved by adjusting the hex screws. This bridge appeared on the EB3 in 1965, perhaps earlier, whilst the EB0 continued to use the nickel version (part BR-655N) until stocks were used. When the intonatable Gibson two-point bass bridge came in in 1967, last stocks of this bridge were used on Gibsons budget brand bass, the Kalamazoo KB-1 bass, perhaps as late as 1970. As used on the EB-0, EB-2, EB-3, Melody Maker, and Epiphone Newport and Rivoli basses from 1965 until 1967.

This is one of the all-time great bass bridge designs! It's massive yet low-profile and you can adjust string height as well as string spacing quite easily. The roller saddle design places a lot less strain on string windings and this adds to sustain. Made in Germany with the DBP patent # so you know it's an early one, Some minor oxidation but no rust or pitting and all the adjustment screws turn freely. Includes the (3) original mounting screws.
