is it that the holes on the bridge are beveled or is it the holes are to big for the posts? I have the same problem "B" String rattle. If this is such a problem what's it with Gretsch not fixing the problem?
@samuelzetterman Жыл бұрын
The rocking bar bridge intensionally has holes that are larger than the posts and beveled so that it can rock back and forth when you use the bigsby, hence the name. (Worth mentioning, the posts on my guitar are just sligthly narrower which eliminates some of the rocking but to solve that you can just use the included base.) I think the buzz comes from the generally loose fitting construction of the cheap t.o.m. style bridges on their budget models. Thus giving you a reason to buy a higher end model.

the string/pickup experiments with upright bass is such a crazy expensive journey! I'll save you some money and tell you that your bumped steels sound much better than bumped guts. Would love to hear a demo with the pickup plugged directly into the computer. I used a combo of Stringcharger magnetic pickup with K&K Rockabilly system live and loved the sound and the volume without worrying about feedback. But I settled on Presto/Eurosonic strings

You should push the whole bridge forward a little. If your bridge is pinned you might need to pull the pins out to push it forward.

@samuelzetterman3 жыл бұрын
@@konjunto2477 a lot of people dont like the pins and pull them out annyway, most gretsch users prefer double sided tape. There are two types of pinned bridges the real "pinned" bridges have two metal pins that can just be pulled out with plyers, and the "secured" where the threaded rods that hold the bridge go all the way through the wood base, those can be screwed out a bit with a small allen key.

@samuelzetterman Thanks for the informative & helpful video. I know it's 2 years ago now - and I've never worked on pinned bridge, but if anyone reads this, MAKE SURE to CHECK if there is paint/top coat finish around the pins. If there is, use an xacto knife to cut a separation around the pins and the paint/finish before you pull them. Otherwise, the paint and finish could likely pull up with the pin and chip or crack the paint & finish around them. Again, however, I haven't seem one of these in person - just a word of caution.

Hi good video. I have a Gretsch G2410TG with the Vibramate String Spoiler for easier string changing. I ordered a Gretsch Bar bridge like yours i'm hoping that it will help a little with B string buzz at the first fret, also i'm hoping it will help with the B and High E strings jumping of the birdge saddles when I finger pick or pull up on them to stretch the strings out a bit I.'m thinking the Vibramate might be the cause of the strings jumping off the Bridge saddles. Any and all comments are welcomed. I don't really want to remove the Vibramate but if the Bar bridge doesn't fix the issue I might have to. Thank tou.
@samuelzetterman3 жыл бұрын
It could deffinetly help atleast a bit. The strings stay in place better than on the TOM style bridge mine had originally. The E string does still jump out ocationally. Imma have to look into if the string spoiler is the cause of the problem, but i wouldnt actually think so unless youre doing some major dives with the bigsby.

Hey nice. Thanks for the helpful video. I have a G2622TG P90s. I think the buzz in my G and B strings is due to its original bridge. Can you please recommend a similar good bridge (two options) in gold color (its TG) and from where to get it? Don't know much about these things. Thanks. Seeing how you changed it, thinking I should be able to to do it without much difficulty too.

@@faautobahna9416 The only real recomendations i have is what i used in this video, the standard made by Gretch rocking bar bridge. They deffinetly do come in gold but im not sure where to get it. I bought my bridge from thomann since i live in europe, but thomann only sells the silver version. If youre picky on tuning stability go for a tune o matic style bridge (tom). But you might need to check measurements. Try going to gretsch-talk.com and asking some questions. Look what other people have done and get some inspiration!

Hi again! So, I bought one of these, and I’m happy. But it was a close thing; the pins were slightly closer together than the holes on the new bridge. With a bit of a gentle push it can be pushed down into place but it’s a bit tight! Was it the same on yours? My guitar is a Korean Electromatic.
