Bridge removal question

[spectorbassguy]

I'm trying to remove the bridge from my OLP MM fiver and am wondering if the hex wrench I need for the two posts is metric? 7/64" is too small and 1/8" is too big. I would imagine it's the same for an SR5. Anyone know for certain?

We use a 1/8 on our basses. I don't know about OLP though

OLP being asian, I would guess so. Metric's all they have over there.

 

[spectorbassguy]

Must be metric because 1/8 def won't fit.

 

[spectorbassguy]

Yep it is metric.

Mine weren't that tight on my OLP. Vice grips and a paper towel & they came undone w/ no marks.

For those of you who don't know Shlumkin (Frank) is the guitar tech with our German distributer Musik Meyer, and is a great bass player! (we jammed when Frank and Phillip were in town last week.)

Welcome to the forum Frank!

Welcome, Frank! I think I have a photo of you somewhere, playing bass for some old guy in a cowpilot shirt.

Yeah! it's sometimes astonishing what people do for a beer
Help me please, who are You?

Welcome to the forum Frank!

Ein prosit! Ein prosit der Gemütlichkeit! Ein.. Zwei.. Drei.. G'suppa!

Sorry, that's all the German I know, and it's probably not even Hochdeutsch.
That's what happens when you're educated in a beer garden.

Actually, the other guy in the pic is Scott Applegate International Rep of Doom

It's so hard to explain it in words.

I am Jack, Lord Bongo, Bovinehost, moderator - and bassist for Cowpilot.

Jack,

You could borrow this answer to the "who are you" question... it's from a long defunct web site that I used to love, called "Ask Mr. Angst".

Who am I? I was born from the unnatural union between an angel
and a slithering beast. I was expelled from the bowels of our
so-called civilization. I am wed to myself and write the book of
love with droplets of my own blood. My daily toil is to slowly
tear the flesh from my bones. On Sundays I pay homage to the pus
oozing from the infected boils which cover me. The stench I
produce inflames the nostrils of all other species. I live, and
live, and live, relentlessly. So you see, I am your
repugnant image as you stand naked before a mirror.

Well, don't think I don't appreciate the input, but I'm going to stand by my original answer for now.

Ewww, that's strange

I'm just wondering Jack, where You've got the Photo from?
I didn't even realize that a pic was taken during our jam session


P.S.: please be patient, sometimes it's a little bit difficult to understand Your treads, I'm not that familliar in writing/talking in english.

 

[jongitarz]

Frank...It was actually a pic of Scott Applegate and some old guy playing guitar.

Now THAT, my friends, is one cool shirt.

Did BP ever get his EBMM Custom Shop shirt? (If you know.)
