Peavey put out some Dyna basses in the 80's that came with Kahlers from the factory. Very cool bass you have there!

my dream bass mods

[@spiritzweispirit1st638]

Most Epic!🎼🌐Thank you 🖖/////

🔥❤🔥

[@mattfleming2287]

Cool stuff! Your style fits the trem and sustainer. That kind of technique requires the right kind of music. My bass player got on back in the 90s. For a regular bassist it really doesn’t work. It’s really for jazz or ambient music. The bass, as the foundation, really doesn’t need any variation in pitch.

john gallagher from the metal band RAVEN used a custom tremolo bass goin back many years

[@jakekiernan33]

Les Claypool too!

[@alanjacob8542]

Looks really cool to mess around with.

[@jakekiernan33]

It's definitely fun!

[@pedalthang2079]

The Kahler title pulled me in but as a guitarist I immediately recognised the sound of a sustainer. I've not seen one on a bass before and it works really well. Are the first to do this? Good luck with the channel, you deserve a lot more subscribers

[@jakekiernan33]

I appreciate you!! I haven't seen this mod combo either, i might be the first!

[@pokiefeg]

Them Kahler bridges are like my spirit animal, the moment I learned about them I have never forgotten them, looking to buy as my first ever guitar a Dean ML Kahler for around 1.5k grand and after that build my dream guitar and bass with Khaler bridges aswell.

[@jakekiernan33]

You're so right! Great ideas.

[@sicilianmammalian]

I stuck a vega trem on a strat to experiment with trems before i tried one on bass getting same vibes from this

[@jakekiernan33]

Experiments make the best experiences!

[@chefbanjo8139]

I’m really badly wanting to build a p bass partscaster with a trem and killswitch on it. So far all I’ve got are the electronics.

[@jakekiernan33]

Talk to [e-mail]! They'll hook you up.

[@MrPablo616]

Anxiously waiting for you to whack the headstock off the wall...

[@jakekiernan33]

Lmao, I've hit the wall many times

Spectacular! Subscribed.

Thank you so much!!

*low rumbling intensifies*

[@jakekiernan33]

Lmaooo

[@dichpheltman7368]

Hey brother, I’ve got a whole album’s worth of material that needs some bass, would you be interested in doing some recording?

[@jakekiernan33]

I appreciate you! I'm very busy writing an album of my own, but maybe in the future!

[@bongosock]

I spend most of my bass playing time unplugged - unamplified - so the unamplified sound of a bass is really important to me. Does the kahler tremolo bridge change the unamplified sound of the instrument? Does it make it darker? Or muddy? Thanks :)

[@jakekiernan33]

Great question! The Kahler changed the sound slightly, but nothing to worry about. The most difference i noticed was with sustain; some of the string vibration is being absorbed by the springs in the cam, so notes don't last as long in my opinion. Tone is still great!

[@bongosock]

@@jakekiernan33 Very reassuring! Thanks. Love what you are doing: you and your instrument, evolving together :)

[@jakekiernan33]

I appreciate you!!

[@MikeHunt-n4u]

Thats a humongous bridge

[@jakekiernan33]

I agree! I chose the XL because it needed to cover the hole from the previous countersunk bridge.

[@AndrewSmith-pc8eq]

I want one! Whammy me!

[@jakekiernan33]

Yo😭

[@ShortFuseFighting]

sir, this is highly inappropriate and i urge you to stop (also, reported for nudity)

[@jakekiernan33]

Nah you wrong for that
