Ya'll think this will drill through basswood okay? I want to mount a tremolo stopper in my guitar.

I don't think you'd have a problem. Basswood is fairly soft. I've drilled through pine and particle board without problems. It's a pretty decent little drill and I've been happy with it, it's done everything I've needed it for. Be sure the batteries are fresh.

Hi Keith. I assume that you are talking about on of the Epiphone semis (ES-335 style). If this is the case, you should be able to screen the plate directly into the stud bar wholes w/o having to drill at all. I did this on my Gibson Es-369. Make sure you measure the spacing between the two wholes (should be standard) and compare with the blueprint on the Vibramate site. Another solution I can make is to by a Bigsby B3 tailpiece that you can mount on the strap button and get a kit with a string spoiler from Christian Towner. This is what I have done and it looks a bit more "classic": http://townerusa.com/ Hope this helps.

Technically, yes. Although I wouldn't advise it, as this is intended for bass.

I don't think this amp would sound very good with a bass guitar. It tends to be better for bright tones, which doesn't make it very good for a bass tone. I'm sure you could play it safely at lower volumes, but I don't think it would be a very good bass tone.

most likely not. its made for things like bc rich, Ibanez, and others with locking/floating trem systems. youd have to cut parts out of the fender. fenders are mainly just supposed to have normal trem systems. and they, to my knowledge, don't have the correct nut size to replace it with the locking nut for this system. and without the locking nut, the whole thing is pointless...

Haven't tried that but it should work - the back of the unit is flat. Not sure if the wood might split when drilling..?

don't really know -- don't know any bass player who has used it. seems to me it couldn't hurt ...

No idea, BUT(!!!) I did it to fit into my Takimine/Jasmine JUMBO acoustic Bass, for whatever that's worth. It has threads and screws in and is somewhat flexible. Good luck!

No problem. I have a 5 string bass in mine now and usually my vintage Les Paul. How are you mounting it? Are you using it in a slat wall? Then absolutely yes. I have modified mine to use 2 - 50 lb plastic wall mollies into plaster/lath walls. Very strong.

It's a perfect fit for my bass. Check it out, http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00267OCUY. Maybe the measurements will give you a better idea.

No, this won't work. The screw holes are different. I think your best solution is to install more springs to deck your tremolo and take the bar off, honestly.

There is a specific AmPlug version for a bass guitar (my wife has one). You could probably get a signal through this version, but the filtering etc would be wrong.

Again...I would not use these to mount any of my guitars unless I did some type of reinforcement board behind the three screw mount. There is another type of hercules mount that looked sturdier but I ended up going an entirely different route on my guitars. I think you should google reviews for this particular mount by people who own instruments before you make this decision.

No it would not handle a bass guitar for anything more than a low volume practice. Love the other comments and advice.

They should work without drilling. I've installed on Ibanez Jems, Ibanez SDGR Bass, Yamaha Bass, Parker Fly Deluxe, Fender Strat, Gibson SG and my EB Petrucci Musicman and never had to drill.

I don't know, but my guess is that it wouldn't be the best for a bass (just a guess). I'd suggest you call Elderly instruments or another good acoustic instrument shop and ask. I think a piezo pickup might be a better choice, but I'm no expert. In fact, Google it, and I think you'll find your answer.

I'm sure it will, I am running mine through my factory amp, isn't the greatest but it enabled me to remove the Hugh box from the back of my truck. The bass! Well, it is what it is, but like I said, I'm running it off a factory amp.
