bluespresence Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 It has been done. Do a search here...you should find some info. Also do a Google search and you'll probably find some good links and pics. There was a thread here a while back with lots of info on bass trems.

Hughes Posted May 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 (edited) oh ok thanks...i should really learn to use the search sorry. i think i will try to make one out of an existing bridge, i think it could work check the drawing i made...maybe it will work? http://storage.msn.com/s1pZ8pl_R1n1zEoDjay...450581319225725 please note that the trem hole is on the wrong side i believe Edited May 4, 2005 by Hughes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 Well, it still needs to pivot on something. I'm sure it could be done-- trems are not THAT complicated pieces of equipment; however, the design needs some refinement. Also, though you indicate string-through holes on the bottom, the front view shows that the tacked-on piece is far too narrow. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughes Posted May 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 (edited) no idont mean "is there a bass trem" i mean could you make an existing bass bridge into a bass trem....but GregP i would make some better plans. and about the pivot, is that jsut screws that screw in at the top part of the bridge to hold it in while it lifts?
