First colour coats done

Dear Bass friends, holidays are over & I’m back to work...
After the EVO-FX5 prototype, here you can see the 1st serial EVO-FX5....
Grain filler was applied ...

Double P - yes this was a great idea late in 1983.

This is my Fender Elite II Gold Walnut, my first bass I've purchased ....

Hi All,

Did someone have more info about this KD Patent bass Bridge?

Hi all, Today I've send the 3 D Drawings to my manufacturer 

Hi all, here is the final design of the EVO-FX4 Bass bridge.

I agree that preferences in bridge designs are very personal.

I like the headless Steinberger ones best, there is an allen screw to lock them solid.

Yeah, the Steinberger bridge is good ... so far ... attached a picture of one original bridge I bought a few months ago for an headless bass .... not the best quality...

I agree that if you change string height, you need to check and may have to adjust intonation, but not the other way around.

When I set up I like to set string height then adjust intonation.

With your arrangement won't adjusting intonation also affect string height, so you then have to repeat the process a few times to get it dialled? With an engineering eye I would prefer a mechanism where the two movements are independent.

If you have done both ,you never need to change these settings ... on all standard bridges the screws are so fine & thin that these can't keep everything in tune for long time , believe me , I have tested a lot of bass bridges in my carer & the only bridge who is the best engineered bridge is the one from Phil Kubucki Ex Factor! 

@Stub Mandel intonation & string height should be done simultaneously

Hi all, attached a single bridge version ...

@Si600  attached a sketch of the bridge ...

Design so far finished ...

@SpondonBassed Yes it's a new approach, not my idea, developed by a german friend ,he gave me all his drawings of his patent ...

The advantage of this design is to reduce to a maximum all moving parts, small screws, springs on all standard available bass bridges on the market .... hope to find some good manufacturer who produce the first prototype ...

Hi all, attached the drawing, so far finished, of my EVO4 Bass bridge

Hi all, attached a sketch of my EVO4 Bass bridge
