Are those bridge saddles adjustable side to side?

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Perhaps combining shipping costs for a multiple order? Always thinkin'! Not always well, but always thinkin' ;D

I like the bridge but don't need the spacing option, was just curious.  Reread Rob's post, he did say they are adjustable, pretty slick.

I guess I know what you're thinking... 8)

The good news it has exactly the same stud spacing as the BaCHbird bridge!
The bad news is the diameter of the Duesenberg studs is a little smaller. So you'd have to plug the holes and re-drill 'em. Or use some kind of filler / glue.

I was thinking of this for a new build.The Duesenberg site is not too helpful I'm afraid.

You may want to check the http://www.goeldo.com site.

Göldo is one of the companies from Duesenberg founder Dieter Gölsdorf.
The prices on the site are suggested retail prices. Most stores/luthiers can order them for about half the price. And then add a percentage to the price.

Took the Big Red Machine to the gig last night.
It passed the test with flying colors




Special gig by the way: our guitarist's last one after 13(!) years Superfloor...
It was an emotional evening.

Meant to comment on this before- glad to see something come of that project, even if it was only one bass!  Great choice and beautiful execution on the bridge.

Sorry about your guitarist.  That guy's tone and playing is top notch.  Big shoes to fill.

Thank you very much Joe. All the pics, measurements and specifications you sent me.
Much obliged.
Without your help this bass would never have seen the light of day.

I'm sure BaCH will pick up this project some day.




We've found the perfect guy to follow up Frank. He came to audition and half way through the first song we knew he is our man.
We're rehearsing with him, to get ready for gigging.

Here's a short vid I made of the longscale EB2 by BaCH

Straight into the desk. No EQ. Through the crappy old stereo. Registrated with the built in mic of my iMac.
But you get the idea ;-)

If Bach would do some more of those, I'd be all over one.

Sounds like it has more presence than the average semihollow. More so than the Epi Casady.
