Would a person who installs your accessories be correctly referred to as a "PecanicMechanic"?

Hello, Mike Pecanic. When I measure my bridge, the outside of the legs are spread ~ 6 in. apart, and the top of the bridge reaches ~ 6 1/2 in. high from the top table. On my bass, the table arch is more pronounced than was on my Strunal and so it's probably about 7 in. high from the bottom feet to the top of the bridge.

With your bridges, are you talking about how far the feet are spread apart from the outside, the inside, or is it a different dimension?

Hey Ken, is this ok?

Hi Johnny,
Actually I need ALL of the dimensions, the inside spread, the outside spread of the feet, as well as the current string height of each string off the table. Then we can talk about what you are wanting the bridge to do, up and down, just down, just up, etc.

Arnold, you're partially right as in 49 states Pecanic rhymes with mechanic. In Arizona the proper pronouciation is more like "peck-a-nick", and in Croatia it's pronounced "pech-e-nich" while in Bulgaria I think the pronounciation sounds more like "crap-4-brains"...never much liked them anyway...

Well I was kinda thinkin' maybe I could just rough-cut it, and then swap out the adjusters for roman candle holders.

I play in open position while standing and so the bridge will be angled up...no one should get hurt.
