Hipshot Ultralites 1/2" equivalents

[apa]

Hi

Im wondering if there is a cheaper alternative to the hipshot ultralites? Same style preferebly. Im willing to forgo the weight advantage. Its more the size and style.

This is the one I prefer with a 1/2" shaft:



Cheers in advance

Thanks for that ikay. I know, the worlds full of those style ones. I want the open back with a skirt style like the Hipshots.

To be more precise its to put on a 5 string fender style head but as 5 in a row rather than 4+1

thanks anyway

I tried a set of those a while ago -- Absolute CRAP -- the plastic casing went bang and broke apart when I tried to tune the E string! ( Standard tuning on a P-Bass )

Wilky's are usually very good!
