Hughes Posted May 4, 2005 Report Posted May 4, 2005 has anyone took a normal bass bridge and altered to to be tremolo? just curious so dont get all mad hah Quote
bluespresence Posted May 4, 2005 Report Posted May 4, 2005 It has been done. Do a search here...you should find some info. Also do a Google search and you'll probably find some good links and pics. There was a thread here a while back with lots of info on bass trems. Quote
Hughes Posted May 4, 2005 Author Report Posted May 4, 2005 (edited) oh ok thanks...i should really learn to use the search sorry. i think i will try to make one out of an existing bridge, i think it could work check the drawing i made...maybe it will work? http://storage.msn.com/s1pZ8pl_R1n1zEoDjay...450581319225725 please note that the trem hole is on the wrong side i believe Edited May 4, 2005 by Hughes Quote
GregP Posted May 4, 2005 Report Posted May 4, 2005 Well, it still needs to pivot on something. I'm sure it could be done-- trems are not THAT complicated pieces of equipment; however, the design needs some refinement. Also, though you indicate string-through holes on the bottom, the front view shows that the tacked-on piece is far too narrow. Greg Quote
stiggz Posted May 4, 2005 Report Posted May 4, 2005 hipshot has a bass trem if my memory serves me correctly, i beleive stew mac has it, i would find it but im too lazy Quote
Hughes Posted May 4, 2005 Author Report Posted May 4, 2005 (edited) no idont mean "is there a bass trem" i mean could you make an existing bass bridge into a bass trem....but GregP i would make some better plans. and about the pivot, is that jsut screws that screw in at the top part of the bridge to hold it in while it lifts?

thedoctor Posted May 5, 2005 Report Posted May 5, 2005 (edited) Yoy mean like this?Welddoctor.net I forgot to add: expand the picture for construction details. Edited May 5, 2005 by thedoctor Quote
Hughes Posted May 5, 2005 Author Report Posted May 5, 2005 yeah, similar to that...but i cant see the construction details even when i expand Quote
thedoctor Posted May 10, 2005 Report Posted May 10, 2005 Crud!! You are right! I can't get the dumb picture to go outside the image area. I think the exhaust pipes are in the way! I will take another set of pics and post them in the next day or two. Sorry. Quote
Slabbefusk Posted May 11, 2005 Report Posted May 11, 2005 Khaler made bass trems and I think theyre gonna make them again. Quote
Hughes Posted May 12, 2005 Author Report Posted May 12, 2005 yeah i know that wasnt my question tho, it was has anyone made one out of a normal bass bridge Quote
