Double Bass Bridge adjusters to swap for Fishman F.C.

[Thumpie]

Any recommendation for a bridge adjuster that could be swapped out when you don't want a Full Circle on your bass?

It needs to be about the same thickness, good quality and affordable...

Thanks!

There are many choices available if your Full Circle has the 1/4-20 threads.

Lemur has the super-light Hofner two-piece aluminium adjusters (17.1 grams, same as the single companion adjuster with your Full Circle!), Upton has nice light (25.1 g.) one-piece gold anodized aluminium ones and ALL HAIL has the black knobbly ones, heaviest of the bunch at 32.9 g.

Guess which ones I use and recommend?

Are these the Hofners you're talking about? (No weight or brand listed.)

Yeah, the aluminium ones - that's where mine come from. I use CA glue to fasten the wheel to the threaded rod (clean first with alcohol!), leaving about 3/8" sticking up as a locating pin.

I have used these and they are fine. Nice guys to deal with on the phone, and twelve bucks? You can't go wrong.

Have you thought about contacting Fishman or your local music store and simply ordering another off-side adjuster?

I've thought about it. Fishman doesn't offer them for sale anywhere online that I can find.

Also, for my particular situation, I need a set of adjusters, not just one. I'm guessing this would be a much more expensive route to take and just buying a "generic" set...

(You don't want to know how much Fishman charges for those tiny pieces of foam to guide the wire through the bridge.)
