It's a beefy SOLID BRASS DiMarzio Bridge, that prob weighs more than a
pound...

Also check this out:

It's a Genuine (made in USA) Kahler Floating Tremolo Bridge (mounted on
my vintage G&L Interceptor), that is not blocked off at all and stays in
tune AWESOME...  Having a vintage G&L Eltoro, with the idental
active/passive p/u's and a stock bridge (which is actually pretty dang
good for stock)- the Kahler adds just a tad more sustain... Now I don't
think I would justify spending a wad of $$$ for a "tad more sustain" but
come on people, it's a floating whammy on a BASS!!

Hip-shot makes a better bridge. Also ABM & Schaller too. Remember
though, this is just my IMO.
