Installing individual bridge pieces | Bass guitar build part 15

[@adairguitars]

That’s looking great Chris. Looking forward to seeing this in action!

[@KingBespokeCreations]

Me too!

[@BoneheadGuitars]

This game me flashbacks. Can't say it was a pleasant experience LOL I guess it was kewl watching somebody else suffer through it. Beautiful build Chris.

[@ChrisFranklyn]

I had to watch from under a blanket!

[@BoneheadGuitars]

@@ChrisFranklyn 😂 I thought about you too, watching this

[@KingBespokeCreations]

@@BoneheadGuitars sorry for the re-trauma guys!

[@BoneheadGuitars]

@@KingBespokeCreations you can’t be held responsible for the trauma witnesses feel while you go through your own. Those of us who have been to war with the headless know. The struggle is real 😔✊🏻

[@KingBespokeCreations]

@@BoneheadGuitars I think there might be a support group somewhere

[@ChrisFranklyn]

I almost had a nervous breakdown installing these on my GGBO21 guitar. If you look under them it's filler central from re-drilling holes! Didn't help they're close enough to touch on a normal guitar. Anyway, good insight into your thoughts during the process, cheers Chris.

[@KingBespokeCreations]

I’m not looking forward to intonation!

[@redwildgeeza]

Did you have my grounding issues with the bridge? I’m aiming a guitar with similar independent mounting blocks and wondering how to ground it all(?)

[@KingBespokeCreations]

I used a zero fret at the end which connects all the string together. Then just need to ground one of the bridges 👍

[@romelshowell7638]

EXCELLENT WORK!!!! Can you provide a link for the individual bass tuners you used??? I wish I had found those before I started a 6-string bass project I started a few months ago.

[@KingBespokeCreations]

Thank you! These were Chinese made and bought from eBay. I can’t honestly recommend them any more though. Since the bass was finished they have moved under string tension and required me to create a holding cradle for them. It’s certainly not easy to find individual pieces that will lock in place and not move

[@romelshowell7638]

@@KingBespokeCreations I fully understand. I was intrigued as I'm trying to figure out the headstock design, and the ferules with string through at the bridge seemed like the perfect solution... #TheSearchContinues Many Thanks

[@alexander_noren]

amazing bass! it sings even without pickups! :)

[@KingBespokeCreations]

Can’t wait to get it really singing!

[@scajesback]

amazing bass, spot on, bless

[@KingBespokeCreations]

Thank you 👍

[@jurgenzoller4407]

you need a little router footage every video. keeps it real! great build chris, looking fwd to the final product

[@KingBespokeCreations]

Thanks Jurgen 👍

[@alexander_noren]

thanks for the video! :) where did you get those bass bridges? they look similar to the Chinese made bridges from Aliexpress.

[@KingBespokeCreations]

These were from eBay. Delivered from the uk. (But probably the same as the Aliexpress ones!)

[@alexander_noren]

@@KingBespokeCreations how is the quality of those? i'm thinking of building a headless bass too :)

[@KingBespokeCreations]

@@alexander_noren they seem good. Just keep everything tight!

[@grahamferguson4858]

Sounds good

[@KingBespokeCreations]

Thanks 👍

[@rayrayokmusic]

Always enjoy your builds. I have not used individual bridge plates yet.

[@KingBespokeCreations]

Thanks Ray. I think look cool, but I’ll try another approach next time!

[@shanegreen9376]

​@@KingBespokeCreations what type bridge do you think is better?

[@KingBespokeCreations]

@@shanegreen9376 to be honest I still haven’t found an alternative for this set of circumstances

[@fociidannick]

These look the exact ones ive just put on my 12 string bass haha need to mod them alittle though for my application 😅

[@KingBespokeCreations]

I was glad I could get the thinner end of the B string in the holes!

[@fociidannick]

I plan on using the loop end in the bridge and the tail end on the headstock like conventional strings. Probably take the ball end off and just use the loops. But it may all change and end up strung like yours haha

[@KingBespokeCreations]

✨🌟Have you ever used individual bridge pieces before? 🌟✨

[@DieboldTSZ]

Man i just ordered some foe my guitar and now im like Fack 😂😂

[@rayrayokmusic]

Laterz?

[@KingBespokeCreations]

😂

[@timhallas4275]

I can't believe that one grub-screw can hold back the tension of a bass string. How in the world does it not slip under tension and vibration?

[@KingBespokeCreations]

They do have to be ‘nipped up’

[@akashicvizion]

Hmmm.... I wonder how you're gonna **ground** those five individual 'tuners' to prevent hum? Guess we'll just have to wait and see!! Blessed Be, & Peace!! 🙏☮

[@KingBespokeCreations]

It’s done via the zero fret at the other end 👍

[@akashicvizion]

@@KingBespokeCreations Ah; so you only have to ground the closest tuner to the circuit, & the zero fret covers the others! Brilliant!! 🙏☮

[@KingBespokeCreations]

@@akashicvizion that’s the plan!
