Old Horse Murphy Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) Unfortunately these arrived too late for when I owned my Ric, but my loss is your gain First up is a brand new (still unwrapped) Hipshot replacement chrome bridge (as per the one pictured). These bridges are far superior to the current stock Ric bridges and allow individual string height, intonation and go a long way to alleviating These are currently selling for £105 plus P&P. Mine is available for £70 inc P&P. Edited March 7, 2011 by Old Horse Murphy
Bassassin Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Is the Hipshot brass or aluminium? I have a brass one & it weighs a ton, wouldn't mind swapping for a lightweight one. Jon.

Bassassin Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Bugger - bad timing, really can't afford it right now. J.
steviedee Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Dunno if you know if this would fit an Ibanez rick copy?

steviedee Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Sorry for being so vague! I was wondering if the bridge would fit the Ibanez but interested the pick up surround as well.

I'm not sure whether the bridge would fit the Ibanez. I guess if it's anything like the Ric bridge it would but that's only a guess
steviedee Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 If your not fast your last, I'll see if I can get any info, I think Jon has a similar bass to mine so I'll try and contact him. I've been avoiding this site as I vowed not to buy any more bass gear!

I have a brass Hipshot on my Kasuga. J.
