Metallion Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 Looked long an well but haven't found any 4-string Bass Bridge with 16mm string spacing, Aria CSB-style. All available seems to be 20mm Precision-spacing or 5+ strings bridges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 16.6mm is about as close as they come with bass bridges. Your only choices are having a custom bridge made (Hipshot, ETS) or going with individual saddles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metallion Posted November 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 16.6mm is about as close as they come with bass bridges. Where are those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 Hipshot makes them, you can find the prices lower at dealers (bestbassgear is where I purchase mine). .656" = about 16.6mm, not to mention the bridges are 3D adjustable, so I think you could even get 16mm string spacing out of them. Don't quote me on that though, I don't know what gauge strings, string types (exposed core, full wound etc) or how adjustable the bridges are side to side. I think they are right about +/- 1mm side to side though. http://www.hipshotproducts.com/cart.php?m=...t_list&c=13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j. pierce Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 I have a Schaller bridge, which, with the string spacing adjusted close together, is about 16mm between strings, give or take a hair. They're in the allparts catalog (Schaller's website is still being wonky for me) http://www.allparts.com/store/bass-bridges...010,Product.asp although that says "6 string", it pictures a four string, like the one I have. I'd confirm before ordering if you went with that one. With the saddles as close together as they get, I'm getting 16mm between strings, (using Jons metric-english conversion) and a complete string spread (E to G) of about .875". (Sorry, my calipers aren't metric) You could also try looking for bridges for Gibson basses, as I believe their smaller string spread was more in line with that 16mm number you mention.
