Who's been wanting a Naimish Bridge ??

Pete, will he do a six with custom spacing (16.mm)?

What type of metal does he use? Brass? Aluminum?

 

That bridge looks really cool...I have never heard of them before. Have you used these on your basses Pete?

 

Is this a direct replacement for Fender bridges like the Badass?

Just bumping this up....I'm hoping to check one of these bridges out myself real soon.

 

I'd definitely be interested in getting (at least) one, but I can't find any further info. The only website I've found is www.naimishbridge.com and it seems to be a dead link.

Is there a place I can get more info/specs?

Thanks!

You're welcome. You can click my user name for a link to my ActiveBass home page. You'll find links to a couple of threads over there. You can also click HERE for the Bass Player magazine article from Feb.2005. And if you use the search function (naimish) here at TalkBass you'll also find a couple of threads with some info.

Is there something specific you would like to know?

Any idea when in spring this run would be made? I'm interested and would love to get one, but I don't have the funds at the moment so I can't guarantee anything...

I have heard that the Badass2 on a fender P-Bass with a J-neck, that the neck might need to be shimed to get a lower action---- will this sit low enough to not have to shim the neck

 

Hey OC,
For the initial run I'm shooting for the middle of next month, 02/15/09. At this point everything is flexible and subject to change.

 

I've heard this too, and not just in regards to the modifications you've mentioned.

My bridge, in it's current configuration will go very slightly lower than the stock Fender bridge. (Less than 1/64" at about 0.013" but it's still lower)

If your action is good with the Fender bridge it's going to be good with mine. You start swapping out necks after you've installed my bridge, you're on your own.

Hey all....I've got a bridge coming from Rick that he had left over. I'll put it on my J bass as soon as I get it an let you know what I think. I can't wait to check it out!

 

Thanks for the response- mine though is not modded, it came from fender like that - but lower would be ok with me- looks like a cool bridge, the mid of next month , i guess i'm in. - not working right now so by next month it'll be good for me.

 

Oh by the way what colors are there going to be- Hopefully Black....

 

Well, with a builder like Pete Skjold in the thread, it's a little intimidating to admit that I'm interested in building a bass from scratch (as opposed to the Warmoth Gecko I "put together." lol) and am exploring options.

Specifically, I'm wondering about color options (I'd be after gold), what kind of routing is required and if string-through-body is an option. Pete mentioned your 5 string bridges are standard Fender spacing... that's 19mm?

You know, stuff like that.
