8-string bridge for an Aria SB-700

[mc2NY]

Since you already have a 6-string bridge on it and you need a narrow one with that neck.....maybe take the saddles off a Gotoh GTC12 bridge to use ??

I cannot see your bridge too well in the photo to tell if they will swap out but the Gotoh has dual saddles for each string and might work OK on the bass strings.

I doubt they will swap out since it's also a custom job thanks for the guitar bridge idea. The width from string to string at the bridge should be about 50mm so the ABM bridge is too wide.

Makes sense!

How about one of these?

Can you tell the measurements?

I just called Allparts and had them measure...from the center of the high E to low G saddles the dimension is 64mm.  


The bridge I showed in the beginning of this thread is 61mm.  It seems to be the standard  for Korean basses with a neck that is 45mm at the nut  and 60mm at the 12th fret.  I think Baz is using a tighter spacing.

Here 'tis


THAT IS NOT ONE OF MY BASSES, it's from LowEnd.

Thanks for the trouble you took, I appreciate it. Too wide again. I got the Gotoh 12-string guitar bridge and my luthier friend sees what he can come up with it.

Cool!  Look forward to seeing the results
