give me the hwy 1 it'll help you declutter and, you know, i'll play it a ton hehe

yeah the height is ok, i never knew these bridges sat up like that, huh goes to show what i know thanks everyone for your insight

ok so i managed to get it done and stick them bushings in tight and all good, everything was coming out awesome but then i realized that the bridge was floating way off the body, took the bridge off and gave the bushings a couple hard smacks and stuck the bridge on again and now it's just...

ya it doesn't float, i'ma have to drill then yeah i'm moving the wire out of the way before i do any of this dw i'm not that dumb it's deep enough, yeah i thought about cutting the bushings but i don't got a dremel or anything and i'm more comfortable working with wood than metal yeah i...

i got the bushings as far as diameter goes they fit tight and snug in the holes which i know is good and what we want but they're bigger than the depth of the holes should i just hammer them in and hope the lower end is gonna drive into the wood or should i just drill a deeper hole (i don't got...

no info, just jealousy

sorry for the lack of updates but hipshot took three weeks to ship me the bushings and they'll only get here on the weekend so it's gonna be another week before the next tech hurdle in my way

just do what i did be born in 1990 and get a 1990 mij p-bass

the holes line up perfectly and the saddles maxed out measure 15" from the 12 fret no problemo i didn't think about getting in touch with hipshot lmao, i'll shoot 'em an e-mail

in the holes? nothing the threads were on a plate under the bridge which was then screwed onto the body itself, i don't have much experience with actual gibson two point bridges but i'm fairly certain that's not how they do it

are these bushings/thimbles standard or do i have to get them custom or what

so i bought a supertone two point bridge from hipshot for my old beat-up mij eb-0 aria copy bass and to my surprise aria was not very interested in keeping bridge screw sizes standard with the gibson ones is my only option plugging the holes with a dowel and redrilling? iirc you're not supposed...
