Change of bridge mounting concept
the original bridge mount with press-fitted ferrules seemed rather archaic to me... also... with that approach I only had one chance... I dont like this idea...
encouraged - AGAIN - in this community as well as by the bridge manufacturer who responded nicely to my email, I decided to try a different concept.
So to say... a MoSch-mount
Of course, I neither had know-how nor tools to make it happen... I hunted for the neccessary parts, then I learned what a Forstnerbohrer (Forstner drill?) is, bought one, and got help from a friend with drill press access.
And figured out already now the bass doesn't fit any of my cases...
So... after adapting the Charvel Star Bass Case with a knife and violent force - I was able to carry it to a drill press in the end of 2025, get new holes in its body and finally mount the bridge
The grounding of the bridge is now done with hole between the control cavity and the closest huge bridge mount hole.
So the next step could be a new "Mock build"... but I have to wait for the suitable drill to be delivered first. Of course that one was missing in my collection.
So... lets see how many years it takes me this time to make a next step
