Anyone done it or have some insight? I want to do an 8 string bass (4x2) conversion with a trem. Kahler said they'll make a custom order but their 8 string bass trem is already almost $600 let alone the cost of a custom piece.
I think it'd be a way more viable option to buy a Schaller 471 bridge ($80) and make a custom mount plate and block? Doesn't need to be pretty, just functional.
Either way any recommendations for string tuning, spacing and gauges? I'm kinda open to anything between E and B standard with octaves up or down a 5th and am lost on calculating tension. Thanks guys.
