Grreth Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I've just bought a Squier Musicmaster (vista series) and, although it's lovely and playable, it has a little bit of neck dive which bothers me. I'm replacing the machine heads with Hipshot Ultralite but was considering replacing the bridge with a high mass version. Does anybody know if there is such a thing or an equivalent or is there a thread that I can be pointed in the direction of?

MoonBassAlpha Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 I bought one on behalf of a friend which came with a pink fake-fur strap. I didn't notice any neck dive so maybe that's the answer! I liked it so much I didn't want to hand it over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grreth Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 Oh! It's only a little bit of dive but I did try it with a nylon strap. I'll try it with a different one. I am going to replace the machine heads with Ultralite, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikay Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 Hipshot A and B style bridges come in solid brass and with a narrow string spacing option which should work for the Musicmaster: [url="http://store.hipshotproducts.com/cart.php?m=product_list&c=13"]http://store.hipshotproducts.com/cart.php?m=product_list&c=13[/url] [url="http://store.hipshotproducts.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=350"]http://store.hipshotproducts.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=350[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.G.E.N.T.E. Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 First i would try a diferent strap or .. have you considered changing the center of gravity insted of spending all the extra cash in tuners and bridge? I´ve never tried this but i supose that changing the position of the strap bolt would solve the neck dive issue. I guess this is why a some builder like Rob Elrick or Michael Tobias place them like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grreth Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 Thank you, Ikay, I'll look into this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grreth Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 I hadn't considered that AGENTE BUT I'm not to sure that I want too either! I'll discuss it with my pals at Overwater! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
