No, that's the Schaller made one; the Mueller bridge is slightly heavier!

Damn, now I've got to go look at mine! They do look mighty close to each other.

Well the both are black rectangles!

Did you spot it right away, Grot? My eye for basses is not yet that honed.

Thanks Hans,

Is that possibly why I had to shim the neck as the Schaller sits higher than the Mueller? It does have a baseplate underneath the bridge itself.

Either way it’s a nice piece of hardware that works well and looks great.

Well I do have a bit of an advantage.



But also, the first clue is the Guild logos are different. The Schaller has left hand and right hand adjusters, On the Meuller, the adjuster screws are all the same on the left.

You do indeed, Grot!

Totally awesome display of your Pilot basses, G. Love 'em!

there is also a third logo, also made by Mueller, with a lower case "g," like on my bass:

and oh hey @The Guilds of Grot, looks like you're missin a couple!

Yeah, the single pick-up model seen here in the middle is not in that line-up!



Nor are the Pro Pilots!

 

[mavuser]

much better!

So I was practicing with my "gigging" bass that lives with me and I noticed this!




It has an "un-branded" Schaller bridge!

I also see it's not in my Pilot line up so here it is: (In rarely seen natural poplar!)

Love the natural color. Looks like mid eighties as well?

Does the bridge have a separate baseplate underneath. Just curious as mine does. I had to shim the neck to get a nice break angle and pull the saddles off the bottom.
