EverTune Takes Bass Tuning to the Next Level with the Bass Bridge
EverTune has announced the long-awaited arrival of the Bass Bridge, bringing its innovative stable-tuning hardware to four strings and enabling bassists to stay in tune indefinitely.
The Future of Bass Tuning: EverTune Bass Bridge Offers Unprecedented Stability
It is hard to believe that it’s been over ten years since the company first unveiled its astonishing EverTune guitar bridge – a spring-loaded unit that compensates for movement in the strings – which ensures that, once set, the instrument never goes out of tune.
Now bassists are set to get the same treatment with this new product. The company first announced with a short clip on social media, and it is fair to say that it’s not before time.
In the video, Matt Blackett from EverTune describes it as having a sleek design that requires minimal routing and will upgrade any bass into a cutting-edge instrument. He explains that the Bass Bridge, like all EverTune products, ensures that the pitch of a note’s attack matches its sustain, eliminating the annoying pitch fluctuations that often come with low-tuned strings. This feature results in exceptionally tight and reliable recordings and performances.
According to the company, they have already collaborated with bass manufacturers, similar to what they have done with guitar manufacturers, to fulfill the long-standing demand from the bass community. The manufacturers have not been disclosed, but the company has established relationships with brands like Jackson, ESP, Ibanez, BC Rich, and Solar. Therefore, we are expected to see EverTune Bass models from these brands soon.
For those who want to retrofit the EverTune Bass bridge on their bass, the excellent news is that it will soon be available as a standalone unit, although the exact dates and prices have yet to be announced.
Retrofitting the EverTune Bass bridge onto an existing instrument will likely require some technical skill and the necessary tools and equipment. Therefore, some players prefer to wait for bass models pre-installed with the bridge. However, purchasing the standalone unit is an exciting option for those confident in their ability to retrofit their instrument.
As more information becomes available about the release of the EverTune Bass bridge, including pricing and specific dates, the company will provide updates through its newsletter and social media channels.
