Gibson 3 point Bridge

Sign in to disble this ad
I have 2 (soon to be 3) basses with the Gibson 3 point bridge. From what i've read it's a ****** bridge. What upgrades do you recomend? I know there's a Nikki Sixx version but I have yet to find it.

The bridge isn't that bad. You get used to it , I have. They do make a replacement bridge though, which I hear good thing about. But if your going to change out your bridge,{ If your bass is a Gibson}. Be aware that the change, will decrees the value of the bass. Otherwise Go for it, & let us know how it works out for you.
