Babicz Full Contact Hardware - FCH-5BCHR - 5 string chrome bridge

The Babicz "Full Contact Hardware" replacement system for five-string bass guitars offers unmatched stability, increased sustain, dramatically improved fullness and tone along with complete adjustability.

Includes instructions, complete FCH bridge system, action adjustment and intonation lock hex wrenches.


The 'Full Contact Hardware' system now offers "full contact" between the vibrating string and the body of the instrument. Babicz designed FCH with the intent of gaining the maximum amount of direct string coupling to the body of the instrument, with over 50 times more contact surface per saddle compared to conventional saddle designs.

With FCH, string height or "action" can now be set with more precision. The "eCam_ saddle allows for instant "action" adjustments without ever adding space or air gaps between the saddle and the body of the guitar, and conventional string height action adjustment set screws are eliminated. With the Babicz FCH design, the bridge saddle can never "sink" or "shift" while playing. Each FCH eCAM saddle also includes a specially designed _String Height Lock_ feature, which keeps your string height setting in place_even during extreme saddle vibrations over time. Precise intonation adjustments are also easily attained and in most cases include a _Saddle Housing Lock_ feature.

*** The Babicz FCH-5 5-string bridge is not a direct replacement for most Fender 5-string basses.

Most Fender 5-string basses (including; American Deluxe, Professional and Elite basses) have 18mm string spacing at the bridge with the option to string through the body.

Please have look at the dimensional drawing under the "Docs" tab to compare the measurements of the 5-string Babicz FCH-5 bridge against the measurements of the bridge on your bass to be sure.
