The second bridge arrived now and I tend to (pretty sure) take the "Key-hole" bridge. Iin my eyes it seems to fit better for the shape and look of this bass in general. The rounded/soften edges look more consistent and give a better visual harmony, considering the shapes and colors. But this is of course a personal taste.
Like advised obove, I took some masking tape and marked the line for the 34" scale. Then arranged the bridge about 3 mm more to the neck, to have some space for saddle adjustments, based on the saddle of the G string. I think this should work
The strings would run almost at the same distance to the sides of the fretboard. I gave a little (maybe 0,5 mm) more space on the E string side, for it is much thicker, I thought. Maybe it is wrong, but at this little unit size I think/hope it won't affect too much.
For the string through I would use the bigger part of the keyhole and try to place some ferrules under the bridge, on the same level of the woodsurface. Atm I like more the idea of the strings not cutting into wood But first have to drill all the holes.
Asked myself about the height of neck to bridge, almost equal. So I do adjust the string height by saddles, right? Or is there something wrong?
About the two colored finish I came upen the idea of using natural and colored wax instead of stain or oil. Maybe this gives more control over the process. But never used colored, darker wax. Has someone experience with that? And does it make sence to go with some oil before or after the waxing? Could affect or not affect each other...
