SpondonBassed Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Four years in development? You've got a nicely contoured body there. I like your choice of colours too. Are you going to do a run of these or build to order? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidlanir Posted June 22, 2019 Author Share Posted June 22, 2019 @SpondonBassed many thanks! I will only build the EVO-FX4 to order. You can only chose colour & PU configuration😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a new approach (I think). I take it that you are still developing this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidlanir Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) @SpondonBassed Yes it's a new approach, not my idea, developed by a german friend ,he gave me all his drawings of his patent ... The advantage of this design is to reduce to a maximum all moving parts, small screws, springs on all standard available bass bridges on the market .... hope to find some good manufacturer who produce the first prototype ...

Si600 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Are those hex nut ended sleeves for the intonation? I'm assuming at this point that the strings are held at the back by the ball end in a counter bore or are body through? Where do you set the string height? I'm liking the concept.
