rmorris Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) Happy New Tear to all. I'm trying to sort out something with a 'funny' little Satellite 'Bass'. Well I say bass but while it has 4 strings it's 24" scale length so less than a Strat ! So I'm thinking to string it with guitar strings - possibly heavy gauge but whatever to hand for now. I've replaced the poor bridge design - a single threaded rod with 'roller saddles' on it with individual bridge saddles at minimum spacing (ie touching) to get a narrow string spacing. That seems to work fine. But it's missing a machinehead. It has closed 'elephant ear' types with approx 12mm heasdstock hole with insert for approx 10mm post. Not very standard. Anyone know of machineheads to fit this or a bushing to adapt other sizes to a 12mm hole - I'd prefer to not have to drill / ream out the existing hole(s). Not really bothered by the type although a single elephant ear type would be good. Thanks. Edited January 1, 2021 by rmorris typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
