It would take individual bridges like a Dingwall. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 2275 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, February 24, 2005 - 6:31 pm:    Novak has a pretty hefty license fee for a one-off, and at this point, we're not interested in developing a product line. Last I checked (last request was over a year ago), you'll pay around $1500-2000 extra for the license fee and the extra shop time. not sure if the pricing has changed since then. dumfuxx New Username: dumfuxx Post Number: 10 Registered: 1-2005 Posted on Friday, February 25, 2005 - 9:24 pm:    wow, thanks for the info mica.
