Narrowest 5 string bridge

Sign in to disble this ad
Anyone know? I've got a Schaller roller that goes down to 2 1/2". Is there one that is narrower? I'm thinking about converting a 4 string short scale to a 5 string. Narrow string spacing is not an issue with me.

Why not use individual bridge pieces?

I've built a bass from rough lumber club #2 (I'm pretty sure).

Hmmm... that's something I hadn't considered. How does one handle the bridge ground?

The easiest way that I can think of is to use your ground wire to one of the bridges and replace your nut with a metal one (brass or steel).
