Rayman Posted August 12 Author Share Posted August 12 There we go… Hipshot bridge fitted, and I’m a lot happier with the string spacing. The strings now go directly over the pole pieces, and the string width over the neck is also right for me. Job done 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 I might wrong, but it looks like Fender have used the same sized pickups for neck and bridge on these, which was always going to be a compromise. That said, it's vastly improved with that new bridge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds absolutely exactly the same, but I’m happy non the less. The Hipshot bridge is superior in terms of quality and the adjustment options are infinitely better. I think the bass is worth the upgrade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanx Posted November 12 Share Posted November 12 I have a Meteora as my main bass. Excellent tone and the best sustain I've felt in a while. Totally suits me and my style (love offset waists). I've gone for the snazzy 'Tequila Sunrise' Not touched it from factory set up apart from new strings, and all still feels great. When I tried it in a shop the pick ups ran 'hot' and overdriven on full. But, I've never had that on my own rig. No neck dive, although I have a grippy strap made from a firemans hose! I absolutely adore mine! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
