Looking for a conversion bridge

Sign in to disble this ad
I am making a 5 string with a 4 string neck 1-3/4" at the nut, 2-1/2" at the 24 fret. I know these exist but I have never needed one so I have never bookmarked them. Thanks ....Tom

I use this width on my personal basses and use hipshot 16.5mm bridges, not "conversion" but will work for narrow string spacing.
anything 16-16.5mm should fit. 17 would be pushing it.
My basses are 2 5/8" at 24.

The Schaller roller bridge may also be able to accomodate this

Thanks all he has decided that he would rather have a very simple wooden on like I have done before. I thought he would only be happy with something more exotic.......t
