timmchale2009 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Hello one and all! I've got a 4003 and I am contemplating upgrading the bridge! Now I know Hipshot do one in Aluminium and Brass, but are there any other bridges that will retro fit in a similar fashion?! Any suggestions?! Any help will be gratefully received. Thanks Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Tim[/quote] not a great suggestion but a practical one i put a badass II on my rick so i could intonate it and get a better control over action without being houdini you need a mask to cover the front part of the rout though... it doesnt look all that bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Apart from things like the Allparts replacement, which is a practically identical copy of the original, the Hipshot is the only currently-made after-market upgrade. This is probably because Rickenbacker are so protective of their products (Hipshot have had all sorts of grief) and also because most Rick players don't seem to like change! Rickenbacker themselves have been threatening to issue a redesigned bridge for years, apparently there's one in development but I wouldn't hold my breath. FWIW I have a Hipshot & it's excellent. Jon.

timmchale2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Thanks for the help so far, I doubt i'll go the badass route but nice idea, I think i'll go with the Hipshot then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
