Does anyone here have 'em on their Ricks? I'm considering having one put on my 330FG, just wanted to hear some other opinions and possibly see some pics.   Joe P.

It was impossible to find the correct (and to be honest kind of flimsy) comb-type bridge assembly, so I installed a tune-o-matic and Bigsby. Very happy with it...it gives the guitar a little more "chunk" and heft to it....   Melissa Breitsprecher (Melibreits) Senior Member Username: Melibreits Post Number: 570 Registered: 03-2003 Posted From: 216.70.32.56 Posted on Tuesday, May 24, 2005 - 02:19 pm:    Here's mine..... It ROCKS!!   paul wilczynski (Jingle_jangle) Senior Member Username: Jingle_jangle Post Number: 2165 Registered: 12-2004 Posted From: 63.193.9.8 Posted on Tuesday, May 24, 2005 - 02:20 pm:    Outside of "looks a bit tight on there", I can only say that I should have re-qualified my statement. Remember, this originally came about in reference to a 340! Rick solid bodies look terrific with the B5. But I can't imagine a 330, 340, 360, 370, or 381 with a Bigsby...   Peter McCormack (Admin) Board Administrator Username: Admin Post Number: 3680 Registered: 04-2003 Posted From: 142.166.105.220 Posted on Tuesday, May 24, 2005 - 02:36 pm:    Paul: Please pick up the Fogerty Premonition DVD. Not only is a concert of a lifetime but it has a Rickenbacker with a Bigsby that you might like to see. I will leave it at that for now.   Peter McCormack (Admin) Board Administrator Username: Admin Post Number: 3681 Registered: 04-2003 Posted From: 142.166.105.220 Posted on Tuesday, May 24, 2005 - 02:51 pm:    Ok maybe just one glimpse.   Kevin Kuney (Krick) Senior Member Username: Krick Post Number: 132 Registered: 05-2002 Posted From: 152.163.101.6 Posted on Tuesday, May 24, 2005 - 03:23 pm:    Here is a link to a nice Fireglo 370 VP that Mike Parks sold awhile back. http://www.the-music-connection.com/r107bd.jpg
