My new Bass creation

[JIO]

Hi I don't want to talk here what other manufacture are selling on the market. My EVO bass bridges are as you know licensed ( a patent was done by Jens Johnsen over 20 years ago).... by the way I had the same idea more than 25 years ago ( I'm 54 years old today), anyway Jens contacted me & gave me his OK to manufacture a bass bridge like he has patented... I've redesigned the Bass bridge & added some design feature ( I'm Italian we love design) The manufacturer you've named is one of those I've contacted to do some mods on his design ... never get a reply & he knows very well that this mods would be great for all bass player... therefore no one is forced to buy my bass bridge I'm doing my own stuff myself the best way I can with the best available sub- contractors & material available on the market... yes of course it's not the best way the sell a lot of bass bridges, but I don't want to sell low/poor-quality, there are enough manufacture around who can sell poor quality Bass Hardware

I'm all for what you are doing - I'm in the same biz with the same focus on originality, design and quality.

The new EVO Bass Bridge substantially improves the transmission of the string vibration, in order to improve the sound and simultaneously to prevent the danger of injury and any possible dirt deposits.

The solid base body of the EVO Bass bridge has, for each string, an EVO Cam, wherein the axis of the cam extends perpendicularly to the string axis. The EVO Cam is rotatable within the base body for carrying out the vertical adjustment of the string. Each EVO Cam has a string through bore which extends perpendicularly to the EVO Cam axis. The base body also has a through bore which is in alignment with the string through bore of the cylinder.

A string intonation tube, through which the corresponding string extends, is mounted in the string through bore, to be adjustable in longitudinal direction of the string through bore in order to adjust the length of the string.

The vertical adjustment of the string is carried out by rotating the EVO Cam. The adjustment of the tension of the string is affected by adjusting the string intonation tube. In accordance with a preferred feature, each

String intonation tube is fastened in the respective string through bore by means of a threaded connection, so that the tension of the string can be adjusted by screwing the intonation tube into the EVO Cam or out of the EVO Cam by a certain extent.

Due to the fact that the string intonation tube has, because of its shape, an elongated bore in the direction of the string, a large contact surface area is available for the string at the points where the string enters and exits the string intonation tube. Thus, a continuous increase of the inert mass is obtained from the first contact point of the string with the string intonation tube, where the string enters the intonation tube in the direction toward the instrument body.

The solid construction of the base body of the EVO Bass Bridge leads to a good pick-up of axial, vertical, and horizontal vibrations. The way the string extends through the string intonation tube to the end point of the string at the base body results in an essentially three-dimensional string suspension which picks up and transmits in each direction of vibration in an optimum manner.

In summary, the EVO Bass bridge provides a better transmission of the string vibrations to the resonance body, while simultaneously increasing and extending the sustaining period of the string. Moreover, the adjustment of the height of the string and of the tension thereof can be affected in a simple and reproducible manner. The construction of the EVO Bass Bridge is clean and counteracts the danger of any injury or contamination.

The drawing that's filed with US Patent 5,295,427 really helps visualize how this bridge works. It's a very clever design.

I’m working since years closely with my good friend & mentor Jens Johnsen

Hello dear bass friends, hope you are all well !

Unfortunately, I have nothing new to post & have given myself a lot of thought about how to continue ...

Like many other colleagues, Friends & builder here, I have presented my basses & my bass bridges here & everywhere in the social media, answered questions and much more ... unfortunately it is a rocky road, not only for me, but for many others worldwide.

The bass community worldwide has not changed much, new innovations / basses / amplifiers / hardware has been introduced, marketed & some have made a big impact on the world market.

Some innovations were presented & unfortunately never becoming a success! Others, on the other hand, have redesigned / copied something and have a firm seat in the bass community.

The big ones are & will always be popular, continue to sell worldwide what the company founder designed over 50 years ago (never change a winning product)

Basically, it makes no sense to continue if the recognition and success are missing. But many friends, colleagues & myself continue anyway and believe in what we do every day.

I wish you all only the best. Peace & Love

That's pretty cool!

Hi all,
X5 Bass finally back from my painter

 

[Rinaldis]

Dear Friends, as I didn’t have any clue about video games nor controller …
Here are the wooden knobs for serious Bassplayer’s on the new EVO-X5 EvoluZione…
In A World Full of Copies … Be Different

 

[Matt Liebenau]

Nice. There almost seems to be some endgrain on the blue one. Are they wood or resin or?

Wooden knobs… still not polished…

That looks fantastic, nice design and love the integrated ramp. I can’t wait to see the final version.

 

[Rinaldis]

Dear Friends, attached the final version ( Rendering ) of my new EVO 4 Headless Bass Bridge , including tuners

 

[Rinaldis]

Dear Friends, my new EVO-X5 EvoluZione is almost finally finished…. Will string up tomorrow & do a test drive…. Stay tuned

What’s the rationale for the multicolor knobs?
They seem distracting to the otherwise clean design of the instrument IMHO.

I do like the concept of being able to distinguish the different functions easily. But I agree that it does draw attention away from the rest of the beautiful work.
Maybe a black or dark wood knob with the same bold colors as indicator dots or strips?

Agree with nice wood knobs, these make me think of the multi primary-color Lego knobs for children.
