[/quote] Yeah that would be a problem Bassace! just brings a whole new load of amplification probs! would have to be something like Full Dircle or David Gage or some kind of clip on I guess?

[/quote] yes, still not so sure. The feet are circular so I don't think a Gage would do and certainly not a Full Circle because there are no adjusters as we know them. I used such a bridge in the sixties but that was before the modern crop of pickups. I used to use a ribbon mic in front of the f-hole and it was surprisingly feedback-free. I thought it was a great sound until an old friend recently told me it was rubbish really. Oh well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bassman Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I'd just like one as an ornament. Seriously tho', Clarky's Ampeg Baby Bass that I owned has the original ali bridge and I did a lot of experimenting with different pups until I found one that worked. It's a trade secret now.
