How do you put a whammy bar on a bass I have an Ibanez Soundgear its a 5 string and i was wondering if anyone could tell me if i could put a whammy bar on it if theres questions just ask?

Answer 1

The device on the body of your bass where the strings attach is the bridge. All you need do is remove the bridge you have and install one with a tremolo--but before you do, know that a new bridge for your bass is a couple hundred bucks, and you're playing a bass not a freakin' Guitar. Neither Geddy Lee, Steve Harris nor Gene Simmons use whammy bars on their basses; the reason they don't is a bass doesn't really need one.
