Fixes to reduce string tension.

^^^ I like it, better than the moser bridge. It's clever. But what price?

I got this response from Moser's rep a couple of years ago -

"The price for the saddle for 3/4 bass including the tail piece fastener is
EURO 65.- plus EURO 15.- for shipping to USA. But please note that this
saddle has just the raw form of the instrument and needs to be adapted to
the specific instrument. We suggest to let this little work be done by a
luthier."

i think it is meant as a tool, not a permanent application

hmmm, tools aren't usually screwed onto an instrument. Not that I have a problem with using some hardware to affix a tall saddle, but that's a bit much. I'm sure it works fine and everything though.

he has a new model that does not need the screws anymore

Odd how replies to threads on this forum show up in my email inbox and yet disappear from the forum itself.

Anyway, in response to the mystery post about raised saddles extending over the top - how to you feel (mystery poster) about saddles that are "cantilevered" off of the top?

(Again, not that this has much to do with string tension as much as it does pressure on the plate, really, but since nobody seems interested in separating such ideas...)

I think there was a glitch on the Ban settings and a banned member came back for a minute each week. I thought it was set on permanent. Anything he sneaks on here was and will be deleted from the date of his Ban as well as any other offensive posts I find from before.

You and him can email all day for all I care as long as it's not on my Forum.
