    Hipshot bridge for Epiphone Jack Casady Bass

    Yes, the Supertone rests right on it and hides the ferrule.

    Fodera Club Part IX

    Wow, after following this thread for a while and seeing all the magnificent basses all you guys have, I am left feeling somehow inadequate with my NYC Fodera. Guess I'm gonna have to start saving my pennies and jump up to a higher level bass-wise. LOL! I got the NYC back when I was still working...

    Fodera Club Part VIII

    Hi Jason, I have a quick question about my NYC. I'm getting some popping noises when I adjust the volume knob. What is the best way to clean the pot? Just don't want to mess something up. I'm kind of a klutz when it comes to this kinda issue.

    Hipshot bridge for Epiphone Jack Casady Bass

    Hipshot added them for me and they are attached to the bottom back edge of the bridge itself. Works like a charm. Wilson

    The Fender Jazz Bass Club pt 3

    Yeah the white didn't do it me either. LOL, gotta love a tort pickguard. As for the pups, I went through a bunch, including Nordstrands, before finally finding the Fralins. They are a chunk of change here in the states. Bought them around 2001 and they were a couple hundred then. Have not priced...

    The Fender Jazz Bass Club pt 3

    Holy cow! I have one almost identical to yours! Only difference is, mine has a fretted 62 Fender replacement neck and I have Lindy Fralin pups. It is Lake Placid Blue and has a tort guard, which I had. It originally had a white one. Don't have a picture of it, but I'll try and take a few later...

    P-Bass Love

    I too, have owned many, many, custom basses over the years. I'm 61 and have been playing bass since 1970. I played a friends Gibson EB-0 until I could afford my own. First one I bought was a 1973 Fender P, which I truly wish I still had. Sold it in 1990. Oh well, you live and learn, right? I got...

    Hipshot bridge for Epiphone Jack Casady Bass

    More attractive: I certainly think so! Feels Nice: it almost alleviates the neck dive, if that was what you were thinking. Adjustment options: Hands down over the top. The saddle screws are located on the back of the bridge, not the front like the original. The saddles adjust up and down with...

    Hipshot bridge for Epiphone Jack Casady Bass

    Very easy to set with the Allen screws. I set the string height to my liking, then did the intonation. Wilson

    Hipshot bridge for Epiphone Jack Casady Bass

    Ok everyone who is interested. Here are the pics of my JC as requested. If you look at the closeup of the bridge you can see the small felt pads. Other than those nothing else was done to add this bridge. Just a straight change-out and set it up. Then::bassist:

    Hipshot bridge for Epiphone Jack Casady Bass

    They put two small dots of felt on the back edge underneath so it can't mar the finish. They are about the size of a green pea in diameter. I'll take some picks of my bass this morning. I fixed my camera, so I'll get that done right now. I'll post them in a while. Wilson

    Hipshot bridge for Epiphone Jack Casady Bass

    These are photos that the guy at Hipshot sent me of a JC they did at their shop for a show. my JC looks exactly like this. I had a camera issue which I will be taking care of next week. I can post photos of my JC then if you guys want to see it. Enjoy these in the meantime. :) Wilson

    The Official Fender Precision Bass Club (Part 4)

    While I do understand and appreciate the job you have, keeping up with a large influx of people wanting numbers, I actually have only posted two pictures in one post after I got my number. I specifically stated no number needed in that post. I have not, however, added the number to my sig, which...
