I say....SELL IT!! and buy a 4001

Its not so much an alloy issue as a casting one.After a typed that last post i was thinking the same thing.I stand corrected Dane lol.The casting is what makes the all parts bridge stronger.If you turn a stock rick and an allparts upside down you will notice a world of difference.The rick is hollow ...

All parts rick replacement vs. vintage rick bridge....Hmmnnnnn.The original aluminum sandcast ones are by far the best..Its finding one!That being the case..If your old rick is still able to take a stock bridge,the allparts stock rick repro is the best!Far better than the stock bridge rick uses ...

To say that newer 4003's are better basses is a false statement.Old 4001 truss rods are not an issue when set up correctly.In fact once tightened,you hardly ever have to adjust the neck!The early aluminum sand cast bridges are by far superior to the newer zinc ones.They never have tail lift and the ...
