Rickenbacker Babicz Bridge - Now £135 - *SOLD* £150 Bristol

[Burns-bass]

Sick of struggling with intonating your 4003? Then the Babicz is for you!

 

This is a drop-in replacement for the existing bridge, but is a whole world better. This is only for sale in the states at the moment, and not a cheap upgrade but essential particularly if you’re recording. Sustain is greater, adjustment easier and it looks awesome too!

 

This has been used on my Ricky but isn’t needed now. The reason? I’ve had the dreaded tailpiece lift and am fitting a whole new brand new bridge unit.

 

Check out the pics, also includes postage at £135.

 

Come with tools, instructions and two base plates.

I can recommend these. Fitted one to my Ricky recently. Initial setup is fiddly, but ease of adjustment once it’s on is much easier. It also retains the look of the bridge, much more so than the old Hipshot replacement.

Am I correct in assuming you can’t adjust the string spacing on these? 
 

[Burns-bass]

I believe you’re right, the rollers seem fixed. 
 

You can check out the info from Babicz here and see if it answers your questions.

Cheers, much appreciated. I have my spacing narrower than usual, hence the question.

No worries.

I'd like to try one of these out, but they're awfully expensive and don't address tail-lift.

Even narrower than a normal Ric's ???

Yep. I cut the saddles at 16.5mm centre to centre.
