ezbass Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 If I knew someone with a 3D printer (or had one myself), I'd be all over this. Definitely an avenue a 3D printer owning, BCer might want to pursue for some extra income. Thanks for sharing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never used ABS, which is what would be required for the item above to be usable, but it's an interesting design. The hardware required would need sourcing, too (biro springs..? little screws..? pivot pins..?). In all likelihood, some degree of customisation would be required, there being such a wide variation in basses. The printing part is perhaps the easiest, once the proof of concept for the target instrument established.

Hacksawbob Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I did think of producing something along these lines. I don't think a printed central pin would work so well either, would be better in metal. Maybe a threaded bar that can be turned? maybe not quick release, more something to change between songs/always on. Also not a big fan of having exposed screw heads and hard edges above the strings. If there's enough interest I could have a go at it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_b Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 That's all too high tec for me. I use an old piece of foam. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
