but wouldn't it be easier to make a poll so you don't have to tally up the votes yourself

I definitely prefer the Hipshot A bridges- you can adjust the string spacing with them, and there's a quick release slot for each string. The Hipshot Bs apparently are built 1mm shorter, so they could technically acheive lower action on a non-countersunk bridge, but I've never experienced a problem getting very low action on the As.

I voted for the Badass II because it's the only one I have experience with as far as a replacement bridge is concerned. I think I would choose the Hipshot type A over the B though.

What is it going on?

High purity titanium eh? hm... pure titanium is supposed to be soft...

anyways, I voted Hipshot A or Other, and as Other I'd go for ETS bridges. I just got some by the mail a short time ago, and they're amazing. And really well priced too.
