What is the bridge string spacing on your bass(es)?

[basstrader]

Roscoe LG-2005
18 mm

P-bass-wannabe
3/4" - 19 mm for you metric people

I had a Fender MB-5, when I got it, it had an 18mm bridge retrofitted to it but the treble string hung over the side of the neck at about the 15th fret. So I put a narrower one on - 17 mm I think, and that looked, fit and played much better. I got used to doing some double stops on it (e string and g string) and then when I got the Roscoe that seemed like a big stretch for my short little fingers.

long answer for a short question . . .

Stay Low,

BT

DP Custom 5 @ 19mm

Dean Edge 4 fretless and Dean Rhapsody 4 BB which are both @ at least 19mm.

Matt Pulcinella 6-string
Spacing -- 3/4" (or .75" or 19 mm)

Plays like a dream.

it fits ok with the P and the jazz neck...

I don't think the Yamaha's 3/4" -- it's closer to Jazz bass spacing (i have the same one)...

Lets see...

Warwick Corvette Standard (bubinga)
6-string
Adjustable, currently at 17mm

Ibanez SR300DX
4-string
19mm

The four feels a bit wide to me after having only played the 6 for a while... Unlike others, I prefer the 6's spacing nowadays, though its harder to slap/pop

 

[rickbass]

I spec'd an ABM bridge on my DP Custom, so it allows for various string widths.

I adjust it according to how much slap n pop style is in the sets that night

 

[adlerguitars]

Adler 8 string (18mm)

Well, take a measurement! That's what this thread is about, after all.

 

[notabob]

i cant take a measurement...the strings arent on it right now cause i have to get the neck fixed...and the website doesnt say. so, until then, i still have no idea.

the curbow exotic petite, which is sort of what the cort curbow is designed to emulate, has a standard string spacing of 20mm. or maybe it's designed to emulate the XT-33, which also has 20mm spacing.

the M-series basses have 19mm spacing. i imagine it would one of those two options.

Just as I thought, my Zon Sonus Custom is 17mm. Still gotta measure the old Peavey Foundation.
