I LOVE HipShot Products! Squier Active 5 Upgrade.

Ahhh…. Supertone is different model than I was thinking of. Jake, what bass are you going to put it on?
I'm putting the hipshot on my main bass - Lado Solo. The original bridge is showing it's age and this should make a nice upgrade. I'm having a tech do the install and he does not anticipate any problems. I'll let you know how the bridge is once I get it back
 
So the installation is complete - I'm picking it up tomorrow but I do have a few pics of the before and after to show. You'll notice that the bridge area had to be sanded flat, apparently there was some slight warping in the body - so it looks unfinished now. I was planning on refinishing the bass but it looks like I'll have to do that sooner rather then later. No money in the budget for it right now- no matter excited to try out the new bridge. I have pictures of the whole install but I'll just post the before and after shots unless someone requests them all.

Yeah she's seen a lot of miles but I wouldn't trade her for anything...
