Anyone need a 28-string bass bridge?

[dancehallclasher]

You guys who are making fun of this are sooooo closed-minded! I use every string on my 28-string bass.

I was waiting for that...'why limit yourself to 21?'

WTH does that mean????????

It means that europeans are more likely to realize that babelfish incorrectly translated a word to chord, when it should have been string. That's all.

WTH does that mean????????

that means that in many places in europe, the term "chord" is used for the string on an instrument.

jeeze. settle down.

I haven't seen that actually. "Cuerda" is the Spanish word though, which is obviously related, and probably something similar exists in Portuguese and Italian.

Where I live, a string is called snaar, and our friendly eastern neighbours call it Seite.

 

[puff father]

No, but that'll make for one hell of a zither.

My first thought exactly!

I mean, you guys keep saying Jaco only needed 4 strings, but if he were alive today, with all the possibilities we have, you bet your ass he'd be playing a 28-string.

I love the idea of a modular bridge like that. If N. Hayashi could shrink the size of the modules some, and at the same time make each able to handle five or ten times the tension, we could dispense with pinblocks in pianos altogether, and make piano tuning a lot simpler.

 

[draginon]

With a 19mm string spacing that would make a 20 inch plus wide fretboard!

A tappers dream. (i dont do any tapping )

Hate to be a Debbie Downer, but, it looks to me as if that is a fake Photoshop. If you look below the bridge, the shadows are messed up and look as if it was just repeated over and over again.

I may be wrong but it just looks too fishy to me to believe.

Furthermore:

Because as for the brass as for the cutting lubricant almost there is no necessity, job is easy. The aluminum and the iron the cutting lubricant are necessary. Because while job the oil scatters, the clothing and the hand become dirty immediately. I when fumbling the wood, in order when for smell of the machinery oil to do, am disliked from around. When feeling has pounded, it does not designate such a thing at all as the air. It is the smell of symbolizing the person who works diligently. It is something where this the father is ill-smelling. It is defeated to noise!　Persevering!　Middle-aged craftsman!

I'mma use part of that for my new sig line!

 

[ehque]

the modular design just reminds me of my wilkinson bridge, same thing, instead of bars for rails, it had rails for rails. dead solid. i will go so far as to say my wilkinson looks more solid and less complex.

WTH does that mean????????

I work at a guitar store in Miami, FL where at least 70% of our sales are to hispanic people, and at least 50% of those hispanics reside outside of the US.

Most of them that are not absolutely fluent in English refer to strings as chords. It is the most obvious translation of cuerdas.

 

[pilotjones]

"Strings" translates as "cords," not "chords," in Latin-based European languages. Make sense now? Strings roughly are cords are ropes are cables, etc. Machine translators sometimes go phonetic that way.

actually like John Turner said on the first page, they are just showing that it can be done...they aren't planning on making a 28 string bass...











...yet

 

[Synplicity]

I got bored so i figured out the tuning might be: (EADG) being the middle 4 working my way out:
E A D G C F A# D# G# C# F# B (E A D G) C F A# D# G# C# F# B E A D G

Just a guess......

 

[Lokire]

Wow, that's sounds....interesting. Coming from Dr. Seuss, I'm sure it is
