I really like that part where you cut the feet off without removing the material to compensate for the adjusters, and did so freehand without a guide or anything.
ReverendTaco - I rather liked the bit where he screwed the threaded insert in with a wood chisel. Well, at least he didn't waste time looking for a screwdriver.
Nice idea. This would be even better if all the parts where made out of Maple and that way the tone properties would still be there. And one more thing, you raised the bridge, you should start with a lower cut off.
don't you need to remove about a half inch section of the wood before you insert the adjusters? how else will you ever be able to adjust the height both up and down?
He did remove some material, maybe 1/4". Did you not notice the pencil lines on the bridge when he first started, and when he was working and finally when he finished? OPEN YOUR EYES!
@@PeterDad60if you look at 3:25, the strings are well above the fingerboard in the lowest position. So the bridge can not be lowered because the amount of wood that has been cut away equals the thickness of the button ... Open your eyes? Indeed!
I am trying to get an adjustable bridge for a baby double bass, like the one showed in the video above. It is closer to a cello one. I have no idea where I can get it or, at least, the adjustable levelling metal accessories. I would greatly appreciate any info related to, thanks!
I got mine from KontrabassistCom (eBay): www.ebay.de/itm/Verstellschrauben-fuer-Kontrabass-Stege-zum-nachtraeglichen-Einbau-/222180336709? - Of course you can get bridge blanks, too, even adjustable, for a reasonable price! - If cost is not that of a matter, take a look at this page: www.kontrabass-atelier.de/teile_e.html - Sure, a Baby bass uses a much smaller bridge, so these blanks might not be useful for you.

Are the thread and smooth 'dials' (for lack of better term) findable in some hardware stores? I have an adjustable bridge with two adjusters that have striped themselves along the upper part of the bridge. In other words, they are only turnable with no way of raising or lowering the strings. I've twisted and turned on them for a long time beforehand and have since had to use circular metal shims stacked together just to maintain height. Please let me know more about these threaded dials. Thanks.
Very very beautiful work and wonderful bass bridge.
I feel your craft man ship.
Thank you for showing this beautiful work.

LoL - My thoughts exactly - but I think he's taken that off afterwords, judging by the following pic.

This would be a great sound track for a video about Vibraphone manufacture.

Was that chap using a chisel as a screwdriver?
Nice work! You make it look so easy...
Where do you find the long brass inserts?
Very nice video, thank you!

That's great!
Nice work. Do you have a website ? Do you make Basses for sale ?

Great - but you've already raised the height. Suppose you need to lower your string height?
Cut the top of the bridge lower. Where it holds the strings. Have a Luther do it since you know so little.
@@PeterDad60 stop being an asshole.
Make more videos.
I'd love to know what song this is and the musician playing the vibes.
Shrantic song is called "don't blame me" Ellington
It's called 'Don't Blame Me'. I only know this by the Everly Brothers so I don't know who this playing this. Gary Burton perhaps?
Sounds like the Modern Jazz Quartet to me.

I'd vote for Milt and the boys too👍
