Any 'feedback' about Goldo hardware from anyone.

[mybass]

Has anyone been using Goldo parts from Germany on basses and have they found a difference for better or not so over other 'established' names like Schaller, Hipshot etc?

I’ve used their bridges before, the adjustable 3D style ones, solid enough if a little lightweight, it does
it’s job very well for its price point.
 

Can’t beat a Schaller 3D roller bridge though!

Schaller 3D rollers are the dogs' danglies.  I have 2 basses fitted with those.

Do you find the rollers "creep" over time? I found I needed to use Threadlock on the one I had. Nicely made bridge, though.

No, mine seem to stay put.

I find they do, when changing strings. I'm in the habit now of resetting them before I tune up for the first time.

The Schaller 3D will move when changing strings if you inadvertently pull the string across the roller…

It's very difficult to avoid as they are a pull through design. I'm quite tempted to bust out the dremel and turn one into a top loader...

A couple of the Goldo ones have open/top mounting string access and I think one series has string width setting.

I am leaning towards reuniting with the Schaller 3D in black but crikey, prices (and availability) have changed!
