Nice basses!

I've been bugging people in this thread about the Hipshot Supertone since I've got an Epi classic IV pro I wanna use as an upgrade platform. How's your impression of the supertone so far, worthy upgrade?

Absolutely a worthy upgrade. Feels strong and solid, much easier to fine tune than the 3-point. I've put them on all my Gibsons. I'd compare it to ditching a Fender bridge for a Bada$$ Bridge. Some people don't like the look, but I like it - looks like the grill of a truck, sorta.

Gettin' to know each other! Just dropped some cash on a set of Lollars and a Hipshot bridge. Can't wait to bring the NR to the stage!

I like the Hipshot bridge. Improved adjustability over the Gibson 3 point. Small improvement on the thunderbird, bigger improvement on the Midtown. Not a necessary upgrade, but a nice one. No regrets from me on doing it. I will also be adding one on the JC.

I tried a Supertone for awhile. Great looking, functional bridge. I like it's sustain. After awhile, I went back to a three point. Brighter on the attack for me..

Thank you, Jeff!

That's why I like bridge covers, my right hand is there pretty much all night.

Is the bridge cover an option on the Lulls?

Morris dancing is purely a hobby. It is what I do when I want to annoy the neighbours.

A Morris hobbyist? Hmmm. Well. Blimey, what can I say? It’s a lot better than being a weekend warrior I’ll give you that

Quite a funny thought a bunch of Morris dancers prancing around a garden trying to annoy the neighbors

The bridge cover on mine is a custom one made by a fellow in Texas, not stock for Lull. I really had to have one as that is where my hand lays. My VP will get one too.

Are you suggesting that Morris dancers can in any way not be annoying? THAT is a funny thought.

Well yes, Morris dancers in full no 1 dress military uniform are a welcome sight in anyone’s back yard

Well... this looks like it could be some kinda deal. It's neck-thru & comes with a wireless rig...
