Thanks for the positive note! Well you haven't heard the bridge's tone yet, so it would be hard to judge from a few pictures I would say ;-) It would surprise me if musicians would not care at all about the aesthetics of their instruments since typically utmost care is taken in the design and...

Thanks, yes that would exactly be my goal!

Hey guys! I wanted to post some update on my project. It has progressed a lot since my last posts! I have ordered the first series of all the parts and am now waiting for the last parts to be delivered! If all parts fit like they should I would be ready to start taking orders! I also made...

Yes, you would need a black version! :laugh::bassist:

Cool idea, especially concerning the tuners!

Great, guys, thanks a lot for all the responses!

Thanks! Having a few pro players try them is a good suggestion!

Hupla hullahup What do you think of these two?

Thanks for your post. Yup it will be relatively expensive to produce. However tolerances won't be that crazy tight that it would make it super expensive either. Yes, it is held tight when the strings are put under tension, like with most guitar bridges. "It looks like Apple designed a bass...

That's not a bad idea actually. It should be possible!

Yeah or woodprint. That seems to work well for some folks as well ;-)

Hehe yeah, that's the feeling I'm getting as well ;-)

Yes it is a prototype and a new design. For this reason of course there can be minor deficiencies which are to be resolved in further iterations. This is of course very normal in any development process. So far I have not made new prototypes. I am working on them though ;-)

The prototype has been working since 2010 now. So far I did not discover any deformation or anything. Of course there is some wear at the witness points. The material I used for the prototype is aluminium. I will probably be using stainless steel for new versions, which should decrease wear...

This huge cap may not have been the most elegant solution I guess.
