Installing individual bridge pieces | Bass guitar build part 15 

I had to watch from under a blanket!

@@ChrisFranklyn 😂 I thought about you too, watching this

@@BoneheadGuitars sorry for the re-trauma guys!

@@KingBespokeCreations you can’t be held responsible for the trauma witnesses feel while you go through your own. Those of us who have been to war with the headless know. The struggle is real 😔✊🏻

@@BoneheadGuitars I think there might be a support group somewhere

Me too!

Can’t wait to get it really singing!

I’m not looking forward to intonation!

Thank you 👍

Thanks Jurgen 👍

Thanks 👍

Thanks Ray. I think look cool, but I’ll try another approach next time!

​@@KingBespokeCreations what type bridge do you think is better?

@@shanegreen9376 to be honest I still haven’t found an alternative for this set of circumstances

I was glad I could get the thinner end of the B string in the holes!

I plan on using the loop end in the bridge and the tail end on the headstock like conventional strings. Probably take the ball end off and just use the loops. But it may all change and end up strung like yours haha

I used a zero fret at the end which connects all the string together. Then just need to ground one of the bridges 👍

Thank you! These were Chinese made and bought from eBay. I can’t honestly recommend them any more though. Since the bass was finished they have moved under string tension and required me to create a holding cradle for them. It’s certainly not easy to find individual pieces that will lock in place and not move

@@KingBespokeCreations I fully understand. I was intrigued as I'm trying to figure out the headstock design, and the ferules with string through at the bridge seemed like the perfect solution... #TheSearchContinues Many Thanks

They do have to be ‘nipped up’

It’s done via the zero fret at the other end 👍

@@KingBespokeCreations Ah; so you only have to ground the closest tuner to the circuit, & the zero fret covers the others! Brilliant!! 🙏☮

@@akashicvizion that’s the plan!

These were from eBay. Delivered from the uk. (But probably the same as the Aliexpress ones!)

@@KingBespokeCreations how is the quality of those? i'm thinking of building a headless bass too :)

@@alexander_noren they seem good. Just keep everything tight!
