Double Bass Full Circle adjusters

[james condino]

Does anyone know who makes the aluminum adjuster wheels for the Fishman Full Circle, or who sells an identical one? The non- pickup side.

I like them a LOT better than what the rest of the suppliers seem to sell. They are larger diameter and seem to work better. (Too bad I don't feel the same way about the pickup!)

Yes they are nice. I'm pretty sure you can just buy them from Fishman

Not an exact match, but Saddle Rider has these. 32mm.

FWIW I agree. When my Full Circle crapped out I snipped the wire and kept it. Been good for about six years now.

Saddle Rider has a bunch of cool stuff on their website. Thee Concarbo tailpieces look very cool; too bad I don't see any for bass.

I changed pickups and have totally been considering doing this now that I'm done with the FC and don't want to touch anything with my bridge. No unsightly hole or nubbins coming out of there?

Contact Concarbo directly. Georg Schegolsky is in Ukraine. His shop was destroyed, but he says that he is back in business. He told me awhile back that bass tailpieces were in development, but I haven't asked about it recently.

I clipped it as close to the circle as I could, but there is a slight stub left. Nowhere near unsightly.

Update. He has now moved to Poland and does have bass tailpieces.

Hey James, we carry it. When we had them made, we gave the machine shop the Fishman adjuster to copy. Our current version is two piece, and we have a one piece version nearing production.

888-600-8559 if you're interested.
