8 saddle 8 string bridge???

[Joe Mendozza]

Does anybody know of a readily available 8 string bridge similar to the ones on a Hamer, Alembic, or vintage BC Rich 8? I'm looking for a few for projects. Thanks!

Joe

Thanks! I'm going to try that Allparts bridge as it has 8 adjustable saddles, but I still need a tunamatic style for one bass in particular. I always seem to want/need things I can't find!

A tunamatic? so,, lemme get this straight, you're building a tuna instead of a bass?

No joy in Mudville. I found a TP7 seven string bridge and a 4 string octave (for Mandolin so string spacing is REALLY an issue) but no 8 string.

The closest I found was the Warwick. It would work for your use.

That Warwick bridge could definitely work!

Dean uses a tune-o style 8 saddle bridge on their Rhapsody basses. You could contact them to see if it's available as a replacement part.

It's not. I tried.

I've asked about necks and other parts to build a 8/12 string and I got the response that they don't have them to sell. But I hope you have better luck. I have a rhapsody 12 and I'm not crazy about the body, but it was an affordable 12.

Warwick makes an 8-string bass?

It's an Octave bridge.

It's an Octave bridge.

That's the only kind of 8-string I'm interested in.

Wow... I just had a vision of an 8-string Thumb NT SC. I may have swooned.
