9 string bass parts?

Sign in to disble this ad
Well, a friend of mine is building a 9 string for me and we've no idea where to get anything for it. I had an idea to maybe use a 4 and 5 string bridge, but it's a mess to find the right ones to keep the spacing constant. I know they sell single string bridges but it's just easier to get a whole bridge.

Now does ANYONE know where I can get:

Pickups
Nut
Bridge


for a 9 string bass?


Also, If anyone knows, what are the neck/fretboard dimensions?

You can pick up the single string Hipshot parts.

For the rest Sheridan is right, you wil have to get custom pickups made.

You won't find a 9 string bridge anywhere. The ones you see on ERB's are custom made.

Buy two sets of these, you won't find a cheaper price anywhere. Look at this sellers other items for different colors.
