BassApprentice Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Can anyone explain the bridge? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hohner-B-bass-guitar/153230813463 Looks good otherwise just not sure why it has a Steinberger bridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 A lot of them had this (the two I’ve had both did) it’s a drop d/b bridge. Handy. But surprisingly fragile (the lever snapped on one of mine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 mine too,. before some lowlife scumbag stole it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floFC Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I thought they all that the Steinberger bridge. Mine has. Love how chunky it is, and the tuning is super stable. i don’t use the detuner much. I am surprised to hear it can snap, it looks very solid.

floFC Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 If you also meant explain what it does (rather than why it’s there): - the lever is a detuner, you can tune to whatever note lower than E and use it at the flick of the lever. - the round knobs are fine tuners - there are bolts to lock the saddles in place - you can also swap the saddles around to change the string spacing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BreadBin Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 It's the string winding on the D and G strings that let that one down 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodinblack Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 The microtuners were quite a thing for a while, the fenders had them too (not steinberg ones though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
