apa Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 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 A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apa Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 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 A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
