Metalmoore Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I am having 2 basses made and would like them to have the same string spacing for obvious ease of transition between the two basses. But one will be a five string fenderbird and the other will be a 4 string jazz. I am using 2 Schaller 3D bridges one has 19mm standard spacing the other is 16mm. What spacing can i get that they both can have. The diagrams are available here on the schaller site [url="http://bass-stege.de/hp135061/3-D4.htm?ITServ=C4588028X12274b2b35bX688d"]4 string[/url] [url="http://bass-stege.de/hp135111/3-D5.htm?ITServ=C4588028X12274b2b35bX688d"]5 string[/url] Cheers, Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBunny Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 Unless you have already bought the bridges, look at Hipshot. They do 4 and 5 string bridges in a number of string widths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcrow Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 schaller do a roller bridge for the 4 so you can pull these in alternatively a badass II on the 4 can be grooved similarly on the 5 just use a set width bridge at your 16mm requirements ??

Metalmoore Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Well i have the schaller 4 and it seems great but it has a 19mm spacing with 4.3mm adjustability but i would like to use the 5 string roller version but it only has 16mm with a 3mm adjustability. What i really wanna know is string spacings i could get with the both of them that they have in common so i would have 2 basses with the same string spacing. But if i could try a 16mm spaced bass and if its comforatble then it would probably be fine with a 19mm and a 16mm. But does those 3 mm make that much of a difference?? If anyone can tell me if this 3mm difference will make much of a difference i think i might be able to make my mind up easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
