This Skjold Bass

[LowB_FTW]

Specifically the ball end of the strings, they look like they've just been pinned into the body.

How is this done? Is it a peg like on classical guitars? Is it a screw?

 

 

I saw the image in a random post on my Fb timeline, I searched for a more accessible version but couldn't locate it so screenshot the one on Fb.

Either an AI special or what appears to be pins inserted into the body laying back at an angle, catching the end bobble things.

I go with the AI theory above!

I found another one with a bridge (?) like that, but the vast majority of the Skjold basses have more traditional ones, including the new range. Those look like pins.

They look like modified Hipshot D-style bridges, with different saddles and forfeiting the usual tailpiece:

4 String D Style Bass Bridge 

 

Really interesting idea!

A reverse image search chucks up a few Reverb listings & a bunch of pics from a TalkBass Skjold thread, showing 4 & 5 string Drakkars with this string anchor system. No clear pics of exactly how it works, but it does appear to be pins, similar to how guitar strings are anchored to a Bigsby trem system.
