In the attached photo you will notice some corrosion on the bridge of my ABZ.
First off, has anyone else reported anything like this before? I'm not 100% sure of the bridge material, but I thought it was anodized aluminum with steel saddles?
Second, I was wondering if you have any suggestions to fix/repair the bridge. I had considered selling this bass to fund a new build but I think my resale value, while still good, will take a serious hit.
The last strange thing is that I NEVER anchor my hand in this location. I wipe the bass after every gig. More if it's warm and I'm sweating more than usual.
I do have "acid hands" to a small degree, but I've never had this happen with any previous basses in my life.
And help/thoughts/suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks,
Jim

I have the same issue on my SJ5, the chrome has developed little "bubbles", It is disappointing and I am not sure if it can be fixed. I always keep it in the case and keep it clean, I don't know how it happened, maybe just humidity?

The bridge plates are aluminum. Acidic sweat, high humidity (especially salty humidity) will eventually work it's way through the plating our finish and cause a reaction with the aluminum. Contact sales@dingwallguitars.com and they will organise a replacement purchase at a discount. We will need the old bridge returned.
