Question Any bridge with 17 mm string pitch?

Sign in to disble this ad
I am hesitating if this is the right forum to post, anyway.
For my project bass, I need a bridge with 17 mm string pitch. I know it is to narrow, but it should be this way. I have a BAII bridge with unslotted saddles but it looks it won't handle the 17 mm setup. Single bridge (monorail) comes to mind too but I'd like to know if there is any other possibility.
Thanks

Any ABM style or Schaller with lateral-adjustable roller saddles will get your spacing...you just have to do the measurements yerself.

Good luck.

Thanks but AFAIK Schaller comes at minimum to 17,5 mm, nothing smaller (at least the one in Warmoth page).
But I need strictly 17 mm for the sake of the pickup I'll use.
I also discovered that the Hipshot Rickenbacker replacement bridge use 17 mm as well, but it costs hell to much for me...

And for ABM, I should check it but they are pricey as well
