The Gotoh VTB-4 is a vintage-style, high-quality 4-string bass bridge designed for players who seek authentic tone, reliable performance, and classic looks. Modelled after traditional Fender® bridge designs, the VTB-4 delivers old-school punch and resonance while incorporating Gotoh’s renowned craftsmanship and precise engineering.

Key Features:
-
Vintage Fender-Style Design
Inspired by classic Fender® Jazz and Precision Bass bridges, the VTB-4 retains the essential elements of vintage bass tone and feel - three saddle grooves per piece, open-style baseplate, and traditional mounting format.
-
Aged Chrome Finish
The aged chrome plating gives the bridge a naturally relic’d appearance, ideal for use on vintage basses, reissues, and custom relic builds where bright, shiny hardware would look out of place.
-
Solid, Punchy Tone
With its traditional steel construction and vintage saddle design, the VTB-4 enhances low-end definition and provides the type of sustain and attack associated with early Fender basses.
-
Four-Saddle Design
Each saddle is adjustable for string height and intonation, offering better tuning accuracy and action setup compared to early two-saddle designs, while maintaining a vintage look.
-
Mounting Compatibility
The VTB-4 uses standard vintage Fender-style mounting hole spacing, making it a drop-in replacement for many Precision and Jazz Basses.
-
