Thanks, Dane! I will keep this in mind.aceonbass wrote:Kevin......When I slot a standard 4-saddle RIC bridge for 8-string use, I space the strings by about 3mm. Given the thickness of the E and A strings, this becomes an issue when slotting your 8-saddle bridges, so you'd need to make the E and A fundamental saddles a bit wider on the bottom, or treble side, and the E and A octave saddles a bit narrower on the upper, or bass side. I think this would be the easiest solution to the problem.

Re: 8 String Bass Bridges with 8 Saddles
This specificaly applies to basses strung fundamental string first. If the octace string is first, then reverse specs for modded saddles.

Re: 8 String Bass Bridges with 8 Saddles
How's this coming along?
Re: 8 String Bass Bridges with 8 Saddles
I haven't be able to work on it. There are some things getting in my way at the moment.
Re: 8 String Bass Bridges with 8 Saddles
If this does happen again, I'd be interested in two (one fundamental first, one octave first).
Re: 8 String Bass Bridges with 8 Saddles
Still interested here, Kevin, if you're able.

Re: 8 String Bass Bridges with 8 Saddles
Still standing by as well, count me in for one complete bridge. Michael
Re: 8 String Bass Bridges with 8 Saddles
OK guys. I have a couple major personal things to get through over the next couple months and then hope to get back to this. I have to do a slight design change and need time to work it out.
Re: 8 String Bass Bridges with 8 Saddles
Best of luck with getting the important stuff sorted. Bass stuff will always be there...

Re: 8 String Bass Bridges with 8 Saddles
Not I. I've had too much going on. Anyone out there need a job?
Re: 8 String Bass Bridges with 8 Saddles
I'm a bit late to the party, but are these still available?
Thanks Dave
Thanks Dave
Re: 8 String Bass Bridges with 8 Saddles
Even later to the party, but any news on this? Are any still available? I've got a 4003s/8 with a "folded" black tailpiece that I've been trying to figure out a properly intonateable solution for for years now.
