If I wanted to put Edwards bell on my Getzen how would I go about doing so? I noticed that the braces don't exactly line up but the screw fittings are the same.

You'd have to get the braces moved to line up properly. A repair tech can do it for you.

When I had a 3062, I had the mounting on the bell moved. It cost about $100.00. 20 years ago.

So as long as I move the braces on the bell it should work or does it have to be the ones on the horn?

Yeah, not a difficult job. It gives you more options and increases resale value. I did it on my own to a Getzen bass I owned while in grad school. Good luck!

Edwards did this from the factory for a friend of mine, all he did was call and tell him the Edwards bell he wanted and asked them to move the mounts so it could fit his getzen.
