    Hi All,

    I'm trying to get my hands on a bass string measuring tape.  It seems the Hellerbass version is sold out and Arledge is not currently doing business since they're selling the business.  Are there any other suppliers selling these?

    My other option is to make one, so I just have one question for those that have this measuring tape.  In order to verify the placement of my hitch pin loop, what part of the hitch pin are we measuring to: the front, center, or rear of the hitch pin?

    Thanks in advance for your replies!

    Your OTHER other option is www.jdgrandt.com - (905) 773-0087
    This one appears to measure from bottom-rear of the hitchpin.
    Your OTHER, OTHER other way is to respond to Gregor Heller's post, just now.
