I’m not sure why you would put a Ric bridge on anything, even a genuine Rickenbacker!

The bridge/tailpiece perfectly fits the instrument. 

The AC model has a new unit.

Still some room left to enlarge the cavity - and then make it a truly floating bridge.....

That could just sound alright that

I’m not sure they do a floating bass bridge.

Cut enough wood out that steiny/Hohner laterally and it will be floating

Erm is this going to fly. Do the pole-pieces line up? What's going on? It's madness?

Well spotted - the 5-string isn’t going to work, so I’m going to have to shift to a 4. 

And yes, it is madness!

The old one was rubbish though, wasn’t it. 

I hope the new one is better.

I’m happy with the stock unit.
