Hipshot Rickenbacker replacement bridge

[Mzungu71]

I just got one of these and stuck it on my 4003.

Have to say, they are fantastic

Any Ric owners out there, get yourself one of these

So much better to play now

That is all

I put one of these on my 4001 a couple of years ago.
Have to agree, it is superb, much better than the original.
I was having problems getting the intonation correct.
The new bridge sorted that out.
It is now so easy to set the action/intonation/string spacing.
Can't recommend this highly enough.

Oh I was thinking of swapping mine over but having to resolder the earth wire has put me off hahaha. I know its a 2second job, but im quite lazy plus would have to borrow one from my old man.

I've taped mine to the bridge, it does hum a little though to be honest, but I am trying to persuade a friend to solder it for me

hiho,just stick it under the bridge when you tighten the screws down-mine has been like this for years.

it does work due to the solder being very hard to stick to the bridge
