Babicz vs Hipshot bridges. How do they compare?

Putting together a parts list for a build I might be doing.

I don't know. When I bought a Supertone, cash was tight and it was noticeably less expensive than the Babicz. I've been quite happy with it and plan to get at least one more. It's got plenty of intonation, height, and string spacing adjustability for me. Drop in, no hassle. Sounds great, plemty of sustain, etc. More than before? No clue. But it does all I ask of it and some I haven't.
I'm sure I'd be fine with Babicz, but see no point in switching.
Hipshot has excellent customer service, too.

There are a lot of things I can do that I shouldn't, if only because it will cost me far more by the time it's done, and I have no desire to - or at least not enough to outweigh the investment of time and/or money.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

It becomes this question - How many Thunderbirds is enough?

Just one more. Always one more.

 

[TBird1958]

Two point for the win!
I don't use the pickup cover, it's just visiting, the bridge cover is in place and nicely polished by my hand resting on it when I play.

Well you know the solution for that problem.

I can't hear you..... Must be faulty interwebs.

What do I have more of, Thunderbirds or little black dresses?

I have been to the RS shop and they have done a lot of work for my friend. Solid people and fantastic work!

I've never heard anything but good comments about them. If I can't find anyone here--body shops included--I may give them a call.

I'd love one of these. But that's never going to happen.

Baby Red Belly Black snakes. They are common where I am (also a bushy area) as well. But just leave them alone and no worries.
But the Brown Snakes…. They are a different matter altogether. They are cranky buggers and will go you just because. More deadly that the (venomous enough) Red Belly Black.

Irv @Engle they made the Canadian press? Wow. I was wondering if I should post the story. 100+ RB Black snakes are enough to give you the Willie’s alright. The guy did the right thing, left them alone and called in the professionals.

Birds - barely.

Not including bird luggage, I trust!

Donde?

 

[Stealth57]

Santa Cruz, fretless.

 

[Engle]

I’ve seen that before. I like it.

On the other hand, the bay has this atrocity. Cheap too.

I love Devo. My cover band plays Whip It, but I play Blockhead to get warmed up all the time.
Used to play Space Junk, with the bass doing the arpeggios.

Maybe Jerry cut up that Ripper because it was heavy?

Donde?

Huh?!!,,,,,,

Huh?!!,,,,,,

Was the tapas place local or Andalusia?

don't think FDA guidelines facilitate/encourage the tapa business model...

Guy?

Sometimes it's just not worth taking the time to correct an innocent assumption

I'm gonna say little black dresses. They tend to take up a little less space
