A constant load causes no wear or fatigue in steel so won't affect construction long term. Dynamic (cyclic) loads can cause cracking over time but strain (deformation under load) is a major factor in that so unless you've got significant flex in the bridge then that's not an issue. Just look at the number of 50's fender and Gibson bridges still going strong from the days long before FEA and fatigue modelling.

You may get lucky and find someone doing vibration analysis for their masters but it would have to fit what they've already planned to do and that's quite specific. It's more likely they'll offer to do it for a fee. Ask on an engineering forum, it's really simple to test and the equipment is really minimal and cheap, you might find someone prepared to do it for beer money.

Are you expecting people to spend a not inconsiderable amount of cash on your product and take your word for it? Lab testing wouldn't actually be difficult or expensive. I used to design and test anti vibration products. All you need is a few accelerometers, a cheap data logger and some skills with excel to produce the graphs.

Most of our home convenience products were just new applications of technology developed elsewhere for industry. Entertainment technology also is generally new applications of existing technology. What really drives genuine new innovation is absolute necessity. That's why so many great innovations came from war and disasters.

That's why I suggested a demonstration to avoid that argument. I'm guessing you and I would be in agreement on that subject but I'm happy to be proved wrong.

Good explanation. Have you got a video demonstrating the extra sustain compared to a standard bridge on the same bass? I think that's what will really change people's minds and prove your products advantages.

Can you explain the practical advantages of this for the user? I think that's what we're not seeing.

He got it right eventually with the Stingray.

Is that really the best you can say? It's better than a bridge which is hated by everyone who has used one! I'm all for new design and innovation if it serves a purpose and solves a problem. I don't care whether the solution comes from a legendary instrument builder or some bloke in a shed.

Needs more gain

You could probably play anything to a crowd that has consumed that many pills

Dead Kennedys - Police Truck

Thanks. Seems like an excuse to buy a flanger.

I found this really useful for picking out some of the details while learning Rooster What's the effect from 2:09? It sounds terrible in isolation but in the full mix it sounds great. It's a fairly extreme effect.

Never fight a man with a perm - Idles

Insane in the membrane - Cypress Hill

This is better, there's no slap.

Bullet with butterfly wings - Smashing Pumpkins

A skull full of maggots - Cannibal Corpse One of their nicest ballads

Moron brothers - NOFX

I've ordered twice from Bass Direct. Both times the items were shown as in stock but weren't. I wouldn't order from them again.

I'm finding DR strings seem to be in short supply here but suppliers in Europe (Thomann etc) have plenty of stock. Finding the same at work, no stock of parts here, plenty in Europe.

Be quiet and drive (far away) - Deftones

SR800? I had one for a few weeks but it had issues with the preamp. Really nice to play and sounded great. Nothing like a Fender PJ
