Thanks for the sound advice!
I agree leaving the 3 point in place is cool, to have it remain as Gibby made it.
And saving money in a crappy economy is always the way to go!
The set up Sweetwater did on it does not float my boat, so trying to get it corrected is the plan of the moment.
Problem lies in finding a good " luthier that *knows* how to set up a 3 point".
I only have 3 music stores in my immediate area.
And highly doubt any of them have someone who falls under that heading.
Sooooooooo I dunno? Time will tell, it always does

Just my .02 on that Hipshot bridge.
Aesthics alone prevent me from using it on any my basses, it hangs over the center block - no, thank you. It's a fine design effort and as that I don't critisize it. Take the bass to a luthier that *knows* how to set up a 3 point and save the $$$. Lull does my set ups and trust me, done right, a 3 point is an excellent bridge that will do anything a Hipshot does, plus look like it actually belongs on the bass.
This is my '89
And my '09
I just bought an Epi Pro V, so we'll see how it goes with that one. Anybody know if the Pro V's have the same size pickguards as the standard Gibson 4's? I definitely prefer the white guard to the stock black one.
