Hipshot Single String bridges....

I've been thinking about using these in a future Warmoth build. But I'm undecided if it's how I want to go, in the looks department....

Could those users that have basses equipped with these bridges or any other single string bridge design please post pics??

I would also appreciated any thoughts on them, in comparison to a single bridge tonally....

Thanks....
 
TONS of sustain...........

I overcame the pain in the ass of grounding by using thin copper tape under the top of the bridges all the way across....
 
I have ABM monorail bridge / tuners on my Status but they're a functional necessity for that particular design. I recall reading that the monorail concept minimizes "string-to-string transmission" or something of that nature. Not sure what that means or whether the claim holds true. They are flippin' cool looking, though!
