String spacing dimensions needed for ABM headpiece

[david_l_perry]

Alan at ACG is making me a 5 string headless bass but getting hardware is prooving a little awkward as my bridge string spacing is fairly narrow. We have hopefully sorted the bridge assembly out but struggling a little with the headpiece.

I wanted to use a Status string retainer headpiece so I keep all the string spacing the same as my long standing main Status bass of 10+ years, but Status are 'out of stock'.

Does anybody know the spacing of the standard 5 string ABM headless string retainer, it isn't on the web site and I think ABM are shut down at the moment (holidays).

Obviously its the top part. I am after 10mm string to string spacing



Cheers, Dave

Got it. (thanks to a guy over on talkbass who had one)



My Status is 9-10mm close enough for jazz....
