Firstly I think you got me confused with someone else.
Secondly, whats the difference?

Ok thanks alot, I'll have to do that in a few days.

Yes, The area has been filled in for the replacement bridge.

How much of a cavity needs to be cut out, Is it for the full thing or just the part under the bridge saddles?

I dont see how the strings WOULDNT come into contact with foam... I'll try it now anyway..

These are the only pics I can get as my camera is almost out of battery.
Not the best quality, sorry:

The reason I ask ia because at the moment I have 2 problems.

1, Even with the strings at what appears to be a suitable action, They still sound (for a lack of a better word) dead - EG there bearly ringing at all.

2, The bridge doesnt sit perfectly flat, The underside of the bridge paddle space ...

I thought as much, My problem must be somewhere else instead then.

Is there anything I need to know installation wise or should I just screw in place?

As some of you may know Im restoring a ric, It originally had a fender-type bridge installed.

I've just got my 4001 original bass bridge in the mail today, I've replaced it on my bass etc.

One problem, How do you set the action on this thing?
Currently its set so low the strings are hitting ...

I agree, If your not able to access a computer over the time when the auction ends you shouldnt have bid on the item.

I dont feel I should start a new thread for this but:

Has anyone got a pic of the Hipshot bridge in BLACK I've searched over the net but couldnt find anything.

Thanks for any help!

If he throws in godzilla I'll take it

Nice bass!
That site has some nice ric-related gear, I might get the plastic pickup cover it looks interesting

I cant offer you any advice but as Brian said, I'd be interested to know what difference the pre-amp makes to a Ric if you actually end up getting one.

Nice, Probably defretted.. still it looks like a good job.

No offence, But to me that looks nothing like a 4001
Im not a fan of LEDs anyway.
