“With electric guitar and bass bridges, it’s all about tone… how to get more tone, more stability, more sustain & finer adjustments without adding weight. This is really what Full Contact Hardware is all about.” – Jeff Babicz
Full Contact Hardware is an innovative electric guitar and bass saddle solution featuring the patented eCAM saddle system, designed by Jeff Babicz, that offers a dramatic improvement to sustain, tonal quality & performance. Full Contact Hardware technology results in increased dynamic range, better sustain and pitch stability as well as providing easy and accurate string height and intonation adjustments which, with the ability to fully “lock down” the bridge saddles, remain secure, even when removing the strings.
The Babicz FCH 3-Point 4 String Bass Bridge is a direct drop-in replacment upgrade for a standard Gibson 3-Point bass bridge - the same bridge used on Gibson 2015 Thunderbird and SG basses. The FCH-3PT bridge comes complete with three mounting studs, optional shim plate, adjustment wrench and comprehensive, step-by-step installation instructions.
Please note: Some Gibson bass models feature different neck angles, so the 1/8" shim plate is provided to assist in situations where the height of the standard Babicz bridge assembly needs to be increased.
"With Babicz Full Contact Hardware, you can adjust your action as high or low as desired while maintaining maximum string transference to the body for optimum tone, dynamic range, pitch stability and resonance"
Jeff Babicz designed FCH with the intent of gaining the maximum amount of direct string coupling to the body of the instrument. The result is an extremely lightweight bridge that makes "full contact" between the vibrating string and the instrument's body and provides over 50 times more contact surface per saddle compared to conventional saddle designs.
With FCH, string height or "action" can be set with more far more precision than with traditional saddles. The eCAM saddle allows for instant action adjustments, without introducing space or air-gaps, ensuring complete contact between the saddle and the body of the guitar. The tiny, string height adjustment screws associated with traditional bridge systems are eliminated so that, with the Babicz FCH design, the saddle can never "sink" or "shift" while playing.
In addition, each eCAM saddle also includes a specially designed String Height Lock, which keeps your string height setting in place… even during extreme saddle vibrations over time. Similarly, precise intonation adjustments are also easily attained - and maintained, with the FCH Bass Bridge's unique Saddle Housing Lock feature.
Traditional Saddle 
1. Traditional saddles rely on 2 very small contact points to couple the string to the instrument body. 2. A traditional saddle therefore has undesirable voids under the saddle, resulting in poor conductance of tone & sustain. | Babicz eCAM Saddle
