    That picture of the SChaller bridge is indeed the one I have. The saddles are not slotted. To be honest, I am not sure how much that matters. I saw a build with one a long time ago, and the saddles hadn't been slotted. The string tension seemed to be enough to hold them in place.

    ETA - I do love the look of this bass. Is there a chance you could send the plans in case I get the chance to build something similar one day?
    The other day I described to my daughter how to find something in the garage by saying "It's right near my big saw". A few minutes later she came back to ask: "Do you mean the black one, the green one, or the blue one?".

    Sorry - the 4 string - the original subject of the thread. Always liked the Rick-ish sort of shapes.

    There is a measured full scale side and face drawings on post 4 of this thread - a number of things changed when I built it but it's the general idea.

    It's a very small picture though, and I couldn't read the measurements. Do you have a higher resolution version?

    Thanks
