Floyd Rose

[fireintheskies]

So i want to either find a bass with a floyd rose for my next bass or get one put in my current one, the problem is i am left handed so finding a left handed bass with a floyd rose is not even an idea, but getting one put in would be really expensive, almost 500 ive been told, so if there's anywhere in north alabama that i could get the woodwork done cheapely that you guys know about that would be totally awesome, if not id be open to suggestions Thanks

Why's this in effects?

 

[fireintheskies]

should i have put it in basses?

bump

Yeah it should have gone in either "Basses" or "Misc" or the "Luthiers Corner". Anyway though that doesn't seem like something you'd want done by a hack, unless it was an instrument you truly didn't give a flip about. Honestly I would just try to find a good luthier in your region, ask them how much they'd charge, and then start saving up for it.

Or you could just buy a Whammy pedal.....

Just not the same feeling in the wankery dude.

They make Floyd Rose for bass? How does that work?

I know Kahler makes a bass tremolo, but I have no idea if it is a floyd rose or not...

The kahlers work as either left or right handed, I do believe.

I really want one too, but I'm afraid that installing one into my bass will mess with the tone... and I really love my tone. I could get a new bass, but I don't have the cash to spend on that right now.

I don't think Floyd rose make a bass tremolo either. But Kahler make one that is for lefties and righties!

 

[6Steve6Harris6]

Just get a Kahler, man.

Oh also, Infinite Metal Werkz makes a cool-looking shortscale bass with a whammy bar, and I happen to know they'd let one go for as little as around $900.

I can tell you what, the ways they make these bass tremolos are amazing though. I've seen Randy Coven's custom bass with a whammy bar in it. It's an ingenious design.

They don't.

Where can i find the Kahler Stuff, I went to their website but to no avail?

 

[curbowman]

Go to www.kahlerusa.com to choose which model you want for your bass. They offer two different ones, depending on how much space your bass has from bridge to the rear of the body.

Also, look under 'links' to find their authorized dealers.

 

[fireintheskies]

ah ok didn't look under links all i saw was the product descrip thanks

try www.whammiworld.com much cheaper than the prices listed on Kahler's site

 

[embellisher]

Great prices! I wish they had some pics of the $249 basses with Kahlers installed.

That's because they only sell the imported/hybrid versions generally, rather than the extremely-expensive, USA made versions.
