For sale, a new Hipshot Supertone 2 point bridge in chrome finish. (This is a library picture but mine looks just the same!) I ordered it from the States on the understanding that it would fit both a 3 1/8" and a 3 1/4" bolt spacing (that's about 80mm and 84mm). In fact, when it arrived I discovered that it would fit only a 3 1/4" spacing and thus would not fit my 1970 EB-1. I did read of somebody in the States milling out the bridge to fit, but I decided against it. Thus, it's up for sale.

I had to pay the customs duty, handling and VAT before the post office would release it to me, so it ended up costing a small fortune. You can now buy it from Bass Direct at £125 plus £4 p&p, which is slightly little less than it cost me. See link:
