I'm about to have my Aria SB-700 converted to an 8-string bass and what I need the most is a fully adjustable bridge. I've heard the Schaller bridge is a bit too wide so if anyone has any ideas and suggestions please tell. The neck width at the saddle is 45mm and at the body end 56mm.
The bass itself is heavily modified, it used to be a 9-string (like a 12-string but without G-strings) and is now a 6-string (tuned from E to E, like a Fender VI but with a full scale) so the headstock has the tuners and the neck will support the strings. As an 8-string it would get more usage as I need one in addition to two of my 12-strings.
