The Bass Zone / string spacing issues ripper/guild pups/hipshot? who knows?
« on: September 05, 2016, 07:47:49 AM »
ok dudes, my favorite bass is my 76 Ripper with guild pups. though the bridge pup doesn't perfectly line up (where the neck does) part of this is due to me installing them myself with less than ideal results. part may due to my 3 point not being the original (says "made in Japan" on bottom) and could be a hair narrower than the OG Schaller. since im looking to buy a second ripper (getting rid of most other basses) i want to set up 2 the same. not sure what to do. should i find different pups (maybe mudbuckers, darkstars or t-40 pups) any ways can any one who has proper measuring tools give me spacing measurements of 1. hipshot 3point replacement bridge. 2. guild humbuckers . since i have 1 T-40 pup i was also toying with the idea of running guilds in the neck and t-40's in the bridge.(which will require finding a shorter"front" pup ring for the guild and another t-40 pup)  or any suggestions? i love the aggressive sound of the guilds but open to other ideas.
p.s. i love chrome. sorry to ramble on. as soon as i sell a few things i'm hoping to buy Terry's Ripper (if still available)
basically i want 2 aggressive ass Rippers with cool chrome pups.

Gibson Basses / Ebony board Ripper
« on: August 04, 2016, 05:35:03 PM »
Hey guys, it's been a while. How's it hanging? I'm on the hunt for another ebony board ripper. Preferably with no parts since I have a set of tuners and 1 pup. They have gotten more scarce and expensive. I've realized they are my favorite bass and would like a second one

Other Bass Brands / weird question?
« on: February 17, 2014, 08:49:16 AM »
i have this Fernadez Pbass  that i bought for $50 a while back. it had no pick guard or pickups and was routed out for a big humbucker and side jack.( seems dude was trying to make it into a Stingray) i wanted to use it for a T-40 pup i have laying around. but decided i dont like the bass much so i wanna sell it. do you guys think i would be better off selling it whole or parting it out? (parted out makes shipping easier)

hello hello, been a while since i've posted. i recently bought a Hipshot Supertone 2 point to go on my SB450 and low and behold, it doesn't fit? the bridge is wider than the original studs (for an "Evertilt) does Hipshot make 2 different size 2 point Supertones?
