Does anyone know if alembic would do a Novak Fanned Fret setup on a bass? It would take individual bridges like a Dingwall.

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.

currently, the cost for a single instrument license is 75$, 55$ if you are doing a production run of 10 or more. so that means the majority (1425-1925$) of that cost must be shop time.
