Hi Dave, Love your Pod Cast, I have learned so much from you. I swapped out the original bridge on my Long Horn with a Shaller 3D-4 Roller Bridge as I found the original bridge left the G string too close to the edge of the fret board. and then to accommodate the flat wound strings I wished to use I installed a set of 6 string (only 4) of the Shaller machine heads, but first I enlarged the string holes in the machine heads. I also replaced the volume and tone knobs with Chrome Concentric Knobs. These mods changed the whole dynamics of the overall feel and tone of the guitar. For an amp I use a Harke 4 x 10 cab and a 1X15 cab. and a Hartke 2000 head. Love it.
@thedevilinthecircuit14144 жыл бұрын
Tune in for guitar tech stuff and learn about string theory. Because SCIENCE! Hey Davey, that bridge is actually designed to sit on *top* of those two front screws. String tension holds the plate down, and the three screws all serve to keep the bridge in place under string tension. You can raise/lower the bridge by adjusting the three screws. That's why the screw holes are stepped (larger on the bottom of the plate).

The replacement bridge should be on top of the screws, just like the wood-saddle one was. (I actually prefer the popsicle stick bridge. The intonation is good enough.) String options: D'Addario EXL170S rounds D'Addario EXL160S rounds D'Addario ECB81S flats La Bella 760-FL-S flats La Bella 760-FS-S flats La Bella 760-FM-S flats La Bella 0760-FD flats There are other La Bella sets (round, flat, others) that can be had in short-scale versions, and in fact I think most La Bella 4-string sets exist in short scale versions) Roto 66S rounds Roto 77S flats Roto 88S tapewounds I use D'Addario EXL170S for rounds, ECB-81S chrome flats, and La Bella 760FSS flats, depending on the bass and on the situation. The La Bellas are my favorite. They sound and play great, but ECB-81S sound a bit more like rounds. If I'm playing in a riffing rock situation, I probably want the D'addarios (round or flat, depending on the bass). I have 5 Danos. 4 of them are short-scale. I don't play anything else anymore. I like the sound and the light weight.

I used to be kinda hot for one of those bridge upgrades. But if you take a good look at it you can see why it's known on various forums as the P.I.T.A. (pain in the __) because the intonation screw is under the string and impossible to adjust unless you remove the string at least partially. I know it's not Dave's thing but I wish he'd done a before and after for the tone. Because the other thing I read is that the rosewood saddle is a big part of the tone of these guitars, would have been neat to hear the difference for myself even if it's only a youtube video. After 20 plus years of playing mine the bridge is starting to show signs of collapse. It's going to have to be replaced sooner or later. I'd love to hear folks thoughts on whether the upgrade is worth it or to just stick with the rosewood.

He did however get through 3 Danos trying to record the solo for My Generation because he kept snapping the thin strings, replacement strings were unavailable in the UK hence the need for multiple basses.
