That's one nice-looking bass.
Though the ATK's bridge plate looks cool and its large surface area likely contributes to the transfer of string vibrations into the body, the bridge saddles look
to my eye like the weak link in that design - not much substance and just sitting atop the bridge plate.
As a bassist who likes his ATK, what to do you think of its bridge design? How does its performance compare to that of a G&L Saddle-Lock bridge or a Stingray Classic bridge (with large surface area and mutes)?
