The Marvin Cable Bass Tailpiece is available in two versions:
• Standard Size: for Measure A (see below) between 5 and 6.5 inches. For measure B between 24.5“ and 31.5“ Measurements are in inches and should be made with a flexible ruler following the path of the existing cable from the back of the endpin collar, around the saddle and then measured to the specified place. Measure A: measure from the back of the endpin collar to the top edge of the saddle. Measure B: measure from the back of the endpin collar to the top of the bridge.
• Costom Size: Custom measurements are in inches and should be made with a flexible ruler following the path of the existing cable from the back of the endpin collar, around the saddle and then measured to the specified place. Measure A: measure from the back of the endpin collar to the top edge of the saddle. Measure B: measure from the back of the endpin collar to the top of the bridge.
The Marvin bass tailpiece is manufactured in the US. The standard version is immediately available in Germany (Europe) when ordering in the online shop of the PRObass music publishing house. The individually made tailpiece is manufactured in America after the order and must be still supplied then. Manufacture and delivery time can last between two and four weeks and longer.
New buffer design looks more like a standard tailpiece
Greater Sound and sustain
Less mass/weight muting the vibration of the bridge
Single cable across the saddle does not stabilize the bridge allowing freer movement and vibration.
Greater elasticity of tailpiece allows freer bridge movement and vibration.
Faster bow response
The bridge comes to full vibration faster because tailpiece does not slow the response
Reduced wolf tones
Tailpiece buffering eliminates impact on wolf tones. Wolf tones emanating from the tailpiece or strings below the bridge are eliminated.
Softer feel when fingering
Additional elasticity of cables allow the strings to be deflected by the left hand with less force. The tension of the strings is not different , just the elasticity (ability to stretch).

Please indicate for the order the following lengths in inches:
Measure A: measure from the back of the endpin collar to the top edge of the saddle.
Measure B: measure from the back of the endpin collar to the top of the bridge.
