Dazed Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Any suggestions folks? Looking into buying some headless bits - tuner/ bridge headpiece. There doesn't seem to be a huge choice ABM, ETS and Hipshot. Any other recommendations? Good suppliers? Bass parts or Thomann are current contenders.

sifi2112 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I ordered ABM single bridge tuners & headpiece from Thomann but the headpiece was listed wrongly as it doesn't accommodate double ballend strings so I sent them back, however the quality was great. I then sourced an ETS bridge & tailpiece and a Status headpiece, also great quality & has really improved my Yamaha BBN5, now the B string (actually drop A) is fine where it wasn't great before, I can only attribute this to the increased mass of the hardware .... my 2cy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Seller in Ireland does this set, it looks like it's based heavily on the Steinberger-licensed design used by Hohner: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311363305520"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311363305520[/url] Used in this build thread: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/269096-headless-steinbergeresque/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/269096-headless-steinbergeresque/[/url] Jon.

tauzero Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 You used to be able to get them from Status although they're not listing them now. Would be worth getting in touch with them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
