david_l_perry Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Alan at ACG is making me a 5 string headless bass but getting hardware is prooving a little awkward as my bridge string spacing is fairly narrow. We have hopefully sorted the bridge assembly out but struggling a little with the headpiece. I wanted to use a Status string retainer headpiece so I keep all the string spacing the same as my long standing main Status bass of 10+ years, but Status are 'out of stock'. Does anybody know the spacing of the standard 5 string ABM headless string retainer, it isn't on the web site and I think ABM are shut down at the moment (holidays). Obviously its the top part. I am after 10mm string to string spacing Cheers, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
