Come on, Spector! I can't fit my B string on the bridge. And it's only a .130! A light gauge!![]()
I gave up trying and went with taper wounds.
nervous said:Yes.![]()
looking fwd to pics! Ya gotta have pics before "The" number!
Tried filing my bridge but the file on this knife isn't hard enough to do any real work on the bridge.
You would think getting a $2300 instrument you could fit light gauge strings.I wonder how hard medium/heavy/custom gauge would be.
You might try a set of these:

How do you like the BadAss bridge?
Yeh, once in a while UPS will come thru our neighborhood by 10:00am if a neighbor has a priority package.
Gods blessings on you bro with your Dr. appt. later today! You'll be in my thoughts & prayers my friend.
For the first time ever. UPS actually came early in the morning and not after 6PM.
The NS-2JAR has arrived.Just as I expected, a different beast then the Euros, NS-2A and ReBop. Nice clear solid Mid punchy tone. (really solid tight E string)
I have to get an allen wrench that fits the BadAss Bridge to do some adjustments but it plays and sounds great.
Below are some photos.
P.S. I have a Echo Stress Test tonight at 7PM. So if you dont see me on here later tonight or tomorrow..it didn't go well.
(But I will be wearing my Spector shirt for Good Luck.)![]()

They don't sell taper-wound half-rounds.
Not the ones I like, anyhow.
The set that came with the bass isn't tapered and fit fine. Same gauge.
Then I need to know what everybody is using cuz the B string on DR Highbeams or D'addario Prosteels didn't fit
