mybass Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Has anyone been using Goldo parts from Germany on basses and have they found a difference for better or not so over other 'established' names like Schaller, Hipshot etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecowboy Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 I’ve used their bridges before, the adjustable 3D style ones, solid enough if a little lightweight, it does it’s job very well for its price point. Can’t beat a Schaller 3D roller bridge though! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Schaller 3D rollers are the dogs' danglies. I have 2 basses fitted with those. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you find the rollers "creep" over time? I found I needed to use Threadlock on the one I had. Nicely made bridge, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Schaller 3D will move when changing strings if you inadvertently pull the string across the roller… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quite tempted to bust out the dremel and turn one into a top loader... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mybass Posted August 9, 2023 Author Share Posted August 9, 2023 I am leaning towards reuniting with the Schaller 3D in black but crikey, prices (and availability) have changed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
