You can't have a post about basses with sticks, without BS posting! IT'S JUST NOT DONE!

well by looking at it, based on the string spacing and the size of it, doesn't really look like a bass.iamthebassman said:No, it's a Gretsch SynchroBassVI. B-A-S-S VI.

As far as I know, there is no such thing as a Bass Bigsby, nor is there a bass tremolo that doesn't require routing. As far as I'm aware, the one that requires LEAST modification is the Kahler.hartke20g said:do they make any bass trems (or whatever they're technically called) that don't need routing? drilling new holes is ok, but i just don't want to butcher a bass that much yet. maybe something like a Bigsby?
edit: also, what about putting an instrument with a bigsby in a case? how would it fit?

Vibrato is pitch modulation, meaning the pitch is varied. This device is called a Tremolo on Fender guitars.
Thanks, Leo!
