Hey Guys,
I am putting a Hipshot A-style bridge on my bass, but I need to know whether to buy the .708" or .750" string spacing model.
According to the
Hipshot FAQ:
How do I determine the string spacing of my bass bridge ?
Here is what you need to do. Measure from the center of your highest string to the center of your lowest string. Lets say it is 3.75 inches on a 6 string. You will need to divide this number by the number of spaces between each string. In this case there are 5 spaces. So if the string spread is 3.75, we divide that by 5 and we end up with a string to string spacing of .750.
So, I measured from the low B string to the G string at the bridge of my bass and got 2.56" (2 and 9/16"). I divided that by 4 (number of spaces) and got .641".
Does that seem correct? Would getting the .708" bridge "mess up" the string spacing too much. I know the bridge can adjust the strings 2mm in either direction, but I'm not sure if that's enough to get to .641".
I know my bass has tight string spacing, so maybe thats the issue...?
I appreciate any help or advice you can give me. Thanks!!!
