  • @MirlitronOne
    @MirlitronOne Před 3 měsíci +19

    Sounds good to me, Danny. Up the tension on the bridge springs and get a block of wood in from underneath to "block off" the tremolo bridge. Remember that the higher the action, the more upward stress is put on the neck.
    One good reason for not doing this to a Fender Strat is that a major instrument vendor whose name vaguely rhymes with "Hear Your Music" sells an excellent bass VI like this at a very affordable price under a brand name that rhymes with "PubHero".

    I converted a bronco bass to a bass vi. Filled the original tuner holes, and re drilled for some Squier VI tuners. Didn’t wanna deal with a trem, so I found a toronado bridge that fit exactly where the bronco bridge sat. I did have to widen the holes in the bridge and make it string through. Amazon sells a string through bar so you don’t have to worry as much about wonky ferrules.
    Pretty cool bass .

    If you decide to block the bridge, I found one really easy and quite reversible way to do it: dice! Find one that fits or make one fit by sanding it down. The density somehow seems really well-matched to the wood it's blocked against. I'd normally recommend getting a cheap sacrificial back cover plate you don't mind cutting a hole in, so you can insert or yank the block, but I don't think you'd be enabling the floating bridge any time soon. Set it and forget it is probably perfect for you.

    Effin funny mate, the way that the things that you covered I see in me. I have always worn a Greek fisherman's hat since being a kid, people always thought that I was bald. I always made an exaggerated show of taking it off briefly through a gig to complain of the bloody heat and ran my fingers through my hair dramatically. I have always been flamboyant in the clothes I wear (in the main). There has never been a venue that some two hat hasn't wanted to kick my arse for being a raving poof (I am not, not that it should matter), married for 35 years, two adult children. Finally, two years ago, I did exactly the same thing with a strat, 😊, great fun 😁, I too did not think that it would stand up to the tension, but so far it has, 🤞.

    CAN THIS GUITAR BE SAVED?
    Here's what I would do:
    1) tighten the trem springs, then block off the trem with a piece of wood.
    2) replace your tuners with Bass VI compatible tuners . No more vice grips!
    3) replace wood screws holding on neck with machine screws and inserts installed in the neck. Not only is this stronger, you might get some added sustain.
    4) if possible, install a metal plate on the upper wall of the neck pickup cavity to reinforce it.

    Open up the back of that Strat, loosen the strings and block off the space between the bridge and the back of the routed out area so the bridge can't lift up. Should do a lot to keep the tuning from going out too.

  • @dudleyjackson2560
    @dudleyjackson2560 Před 3 měsíci

    Step 1 . Slacken strings.
    Step.2. tighten the two screws in the string claw right up, according to how it goes.
    Step 3. Remove some a spring or more from the claw.. plus as everyone else said , put a stopper between the sting block and the wood in the term cavity.
    The thing has a unique behs tone, I sort of like it, possibly the scale length is too short to sound like a "proper" slap.fiddle.
    Cheers.
