jrixn1 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) This bridge is unused. I bought it from Thomann but then changed my mind about installing it. It is this one: [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/gewa_bass_steg_34.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...ass_steg_34.htm[/url] Price: £60, including tracked/insured postage.

baboom Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Hey there, I'm potentially after one of these, but if they offer a 30-day money back policy, just wondering why you haven't returned it? Cheers T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrixn1 Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 Ok, I didn't realise that they did a 30-day return period; however it has already expired. I bought a double bass in July which came with a normal fixed bridge. Now I've always liked the idea of an adjustable bridge, so I bought this Gewa one at the same time. I asked Thomann if they could fit the adjustable bridge for me, but it was not a service they offered. Since I am not a woodworker by any means, my plan was to take the bass and the adjustable bridge to a local luthier and have it professionally installed. However, I also decided that I had nothing to lose by having a go at filing down the existing fixed bridge myself. I (somehow) ended up doing an ok job. In fact, the action is now pretty sweet, just how I want it. I then thought it best to wait till I'd gigged the bass a few times to make sure I really was happy - and now I have decided that I am. Hence the adjustable bridge remained untouched, and is now for sale here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baboom Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Aye fair enough, I had somehow got the impression you'd only just bought it (but rereading your post dunno quite how). Sounds like you managed to be pretty handy with the file though so well done. My action is a shade low at the moment, can't quite get under the G string to snap it without worrying I'll misfire, but not doing that much slap so adjustable bridge may make sense. If you want to PM me your number I'll give you a bell in the afternoon if that suits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
