If you were to put it on a Fender, you'd have to shim.
Sounds like a nice alternative to the HipShot.I will stick with HipShot.
Thank you, Schaller engineers. Once again you have put a lot of thought and time into designing a bass bridge that replaces....absolutely nothing.
Sounds like a nice alternative to the HipShot. Never seen anyone here post anything on them?
Wow $145!

Jim is testy tonight ... Once again measured retaliation is forced upon us ...
No - its true, I am testy. I read the post title, and get my hopes up. Then I see it is just another in a long line of bridges that will end up putting a bunch of holes in an old EB-0 and be useless for the arched top of an EB-2 or EB-1. Then I forgot I ate my last Do-Si-Do and I have to wait till the weekend for the Girl Scouts to set up a table at the local grocery. I am crabby.
Is it too much to ask for? A bridge that will fit on an EB-2 on the studs, that you can intonate and won't act like a rasp on your hand from some jutting allen screw or serrated edge saddle? That's all I ask. In chrome or nickle? I plan on buying a HipShot and drilling an off-center hole above the treble side stud hole. Then it will fit an older one. But even that makes me crabby. HipShot could cast it with a "figure eight" hole and we'd be done.

i might be showing my stupidity here but it would not be the first time:
could one make a stud mount bridge out of a regular "flat" type by machining a mounting plate to go under the bridge that has stud mount holes? using the regular mounting holes to screw the bridge onto the plate and if one is really picky about tolerances, then make it a "thermal press" (heat up the plate in an oven to expand it and mate the two parts) with a couple of thousandths cold temp interference? :P :P
i think a good candidate would be a Schaller 463 a small bridge and available in any color one wants, with the plate made out of aluminum and polished surfaces on the ends where the stud hole would be, anodized or chromed. the middle part of the plate would not have to be very thick and one could make the stud holes any measurement one would want.
this was just a thought i had when the Dr told me i sent the wrong type of bridge on my bass build. use close tolerances and lock down type studs to stop the "wobble".
what does an early EB series measure center to center stud to stud?

New? These came out in 2000! I had one that I bought in 2001, had it briefly on a Guild JS-II that I sold after putting the original bridge back on. Sold it to Ken last year, it now resides in the UK.
Nice thing about them is that you can adjust them to under 2" string spacing if need be.
They are very low profile, which is what Ken needed for his Demetriou project. If you were to put it on a Fender, you'd have to shim. Even more on a bass with a neck angle.
They use a standard Fender 5-hole pattern.
I don't think there are Girl Scouts in Germany. The closest thing is young boys dressed up like Struwwelpeter selling rouladen door-to-door.
Not true, at one point almost 80 years ago, almost all the girl populace was in an girl scout outfit of sorts.

But don't the guys in the front row look rather. er, chummy?Personally selected by Ernst Rohm for future SA assignments, no doubt!
They don't look like they would have sold Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies. If they did, the boxes probably had skulls on them.
Thin Cyanide Cookies that would have been :mrgreen:

Is that a naturally grown swastika pattern on its head?!!!
So much imagery here. I almost expect Himmler to dispatch assassination squads to round us all up.

what is the facsination with nazi germany on this board. i don't understand how anyone can make a joke about any part of that monster. i can appreciate it from a historical view but only that. :rolleyes: maybe i'm not as enlightened as some folks here...

I'm a major culprit, so I guess I have to say something:
It's like watching an accident. Horrible, but intriguing. Nazi Germany stands out as a high (or low) point in human evil, the fact that what was by and large a civilized nation could err so grotesquely has a dark, unsettling fascination. But shutting it away and making it a taboo is no way to deal with it.
And the Nazis, btw, hated jokes about themselves, they would murder you for it.
I can do all three: Marvel at the technology of a Kingtiger tank (but not forgetting that it was a means to a horrible end), crack low pc jokes about Nazi/German clichées (how does the saying go: "German jokes are no laughing matter!") and be devastated/shamed when seeing a concentration camp documentary. And if you read closely, then we have reasonable in depth discussions/comments on all three areas here in various threads though the screwball jokes are of course ze Löwenanteil, jawohl.

was never for me. It deserves discussion again and again both from a historical/sociological perspective and as the controlling ritual of ridiculing demons.
No one here has ever seriously identified with or defended the Nazi mindset though. In another forum in another time with largely the same people we once had someone (not a member here) who defended Italian fascism along the lines of "it wasn't all bad, you're just not allowed to say that today" and he hit vocal disagreement from everyone like a brickwall. And the Italian fascists compared to the German Nazis like a goldfish does to a Great White.
i guess all of this hit home when my dad recently wrote a book for me about his service in ww2. he had told me bits and pieces over the years but nothing really 'scary' to a young kid at the time. in his book he recounted how his entire unit was "slaughtered" in a german ambush. he and a few others survived. needles to say this was big news to me. he also served in the pacific theater and likes to say he was bombed by both enemies. i'm glad he is still alive and healthy at 86 because before too long there will no one left to tell the tale.
