New bass bridge

Post by cheyenne »

Anyword on the new RIC bridge design that John Hall mentioned a few months ago?

My Fireglo 4003 is developing a small amount of "bridge lift disease". Im considering a Hipshot replacement, but I'd rather have a genuine RIC replacement if they are indeed in the works.

I'm also thinking about the Hipshot bridge. If I wait around for the RIC replacement, I'll probably be dead before it arrives... LOL!

I tried the 'brownglo' bass at the 75th that had the hipshot, and I can say it really added to the tone.
