I'm just wondering how easy it is to play around with a resonator bridge before I get out the spanners. The bridge on my six string is angled wrong for the steps in gauges of fifths tuning. My resonator bass is ok tuned in fifths as I don't play chords on it. It took a hard days work to get my Mike Soares resonator Tenor almost right in GDAE, I've got the A & E perfect the D & G are very close but not quite there with .013, .020, .030 & .040 if I steam the bridge & put a twist into it that should finish the job. Back to the subject, I'm theorising with the idea of making a multi scale (bolt on) neck 23" E to 24" G & fitting it to an electric reso body like that of the Eastwood Delta 4. To make it work the bridge would need to be be close to a 45 degree angle to the strings.
