I won't be at NAMM 2023, but my bridge will be! Visit D'Artagnan Pendleton at the Merlin5 CNC Products booth #5744 and tell him I said hello! Oh, check out my 8-string bass bridge as well.

The time is NOW! If you're at NAMM 2023, visit D'Artagnan Pendleton at the Merlin5 CNC Products booth #5744, tell him I said hello, and check out my 8-string bass bridge.

I always get a kick out of seeing one of my builds up on Reverb. This was one of two prototype Chromasonic VIs. So cool.

The patent application has been filed for the 8-string bass guitar bridge. I have included a few client build photos to show it in use.

The white paint at the tip of the headstock on this Chromasonic V got chipped so my client sent it back for repairs. It's great to see it looking like new and back in its home environment.

Below is what the modular system will look like for 10-string & multi-scale applications. Also, I think I will have a few 8-string bridges in this batch plated in black chrome.

So, this happened: Billy Sheehan "liked" the rendering of the new multi-scale 8-string bridge system. So cool!

Back at the workbench.

It's time to get these conversion necks ready to play.

BTL · September 09, 2023, 04:56:43 PM

Finishing up the harnesses for a number of builds. Build #10 ended up back in my hands and I decided to swap the neck onto a GFS T-style body that's been modified to accept my hardware. This one has TV Jones Classics, always a favorite.

I installed nuts and cleaned up the fret-ends on 10 necks today. That seems like a lot.

BTL · September 10, 2023, 08:34:40 PM

I'm a machine machine.

BTL · September 11, 2023, 06:09:37 PM

Machines and string retainers installed on 10 of the 14 necks I have on hand. I'll have machines for the other 4 later this week.

Today's update is brought to you by Moe Colors. Here are a few bodies to go with some of those necks I've been working on.

My buddy John Johnson edited my crappy cell phone pics to look like legit, commercial-grade product photos. I'm lucky to have so many talented friends.
