Abstract

The arrangement is intended for a guitar, or an electric guitar, particularly an electric bass guitar. To optimise the tone colour and widen the playing possibilities, e.g. producing effects normally obtainable on a double bass, the lengths of certain frets (1-5), nearer the guitar body, are reduced. Thus they do not extend over the full width of the fingerboard. The frets (6,5,3) at the transitions to the fretless fingerboard portion are preferably flattened to facilitate playing.

Description

B E S C H R E I B U N G DESCRIPTION

Bundeisendimensionierung bei Gitarren, Elektro-Gitarren, insbesondere bei Elektro-Bässen Die Erfindung betrifft eine Bundeisendimensionierung bei Gitarren, Elektro-Gitarren, insbesondere bei Elektro-Bässen zur Erzielung spezieller Klangeffekte (Kontrabaßeffekt).Fret iron dimensioning for guitars, electric guitars, in particular for electric basses The invention relates to a fret dimensioning for guitars, Electric guitars, especially for electric basses to achieve special sound effects (Counterbalancing effect).

Es sind bekannt; Instrumente, bei denen über die Griffbrettlänge Halbtonschritte durch Bundeisen, welche über die gesamte Griffbrettbreite verlaufen, festgelegt sind.There are known; Instruments that use semitones over the length of the fingerboard fixed by frets that run across the entire width of the fingerboard are.

Weiterhin sind Instrumente ohne Bundeisen bekannt. Bei bundeisenlosen Instrumenten (speziell bei Elektro-Bässen) ist ein Verschwimmen der tiefen Töne festzustellen.Furthermore, instruments without braces are known. In the case of non-banded iron Instruments (especially with electric basses) is a blurring of the deep tones ascertain.

Bei Instrumenten (insbesondere bei Elektro-Bässen) mit Bundeisen, welche über die gesamte Griffbrettbreite reichen, lassen sich keine "Kontrabaßeffekte" erzielen.For instruments (especially for electric basses) with bunch irons, which extend over the entire width of the fingerboard, no "double-sided effects" achieve.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde tiefe Töne sauber darzustellen und höhere Töne, bei denen ein "Kontrabaßeffekt" sinnvoll ist, ru erreichen.The invention is based on the object of displaying low tones cleanly and higher notes, for which a "double effect" makes sense, achieve ru.

An einem Ausführungsbeispiel (siehe Skizze) soll die Erfindung nachfolgend erläutert werden; Die Auigabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Bundeisen in ihrer Länge entsprechend den klanglichen Anforderungen variiert werden (FigurII). Wie aus dem Ausführungsbeispiel (Figuru. m ) ersichtlich ist, werden zur Spielerleich terung im Übergangsbereich vom Bundeisenlosen- zum Bundeisenspielbereich einer jeden Saite die Bundeisen abgeflacht.The invention is intended below using an exemplary embodiment (see sketch) be explained; The Auigabe is achieved according to the invention in that the braces can be varied in length according to the tonal requirements (Figure II). As can be seen from the exemplary embodiment (fig. M), become a game change in the transition area from the Bundeisenlose to the Bundeisenspielbereich for everyone String the frets flattened.
