bass question

threw_it_away - 16 Apr 2002 19:53:39

Ok, awhile back there was this company that made floyd rose type
tremlos, floyd rose ended up suing them or something. Anyways that
company is no longer around (as far as i know), but when they did
they suposidly made one for a bass guitar, which leads to my
question, is this true? if so what was the name of the company, and
how the hell can i get one?
also, do you think that it'd be possible to rig up a bigsby b50 on my
bass?, or would the spring in it be too weak?
any help on this matter would be much apreaciated. thanks
