demon Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Does anyone know where I can get hold of a six string bass bridge? I want one as narrow as possible, its for a fender p-bass I am converting, but I dont want the neck to be too much wider (Like my 5-strings, I like the strings close together) Might have to end up making one........

Lex Luthier Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Here's one place, they also sell the "indie" bridges to make a customized spacing, I've used them and I think the minimum spacing you could get if there was no gap between them was 15mm, but I might be wrong, I can't remember exactly. If your spacing is too narrow it could end up being hard to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demon Posted September 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 thanks, i will try that. Mind you, there is a guy on the forum somewhere, cant remember where whos making a floyd rose. I am sorely temted to make something similar. Ive never ever seen a trem on a bass - maybe for good reason i dont know, but its tempting......... I like my string spacings very close. On my 5 string they are about half the distance apart as they are on my p-bass, and i find that about the most comfortable to play, much less stretching needed to get to the low strings!

bassman Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 you coould fairly easily make a wooden bridge for your bass (although it ould not be very adjustable), yes even for an electric. there are basses out there with a tremolo bar- I beleive that Paul Stanley's piccollo basses made by Carl Thompson have whammy bars-\Peace, Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
