I think we should put this to rest now.

.. What galls me is that Mike seems to be taking credit for the idea of extra saddle travel on a Thunderbird style bridge. This is a idea I developed in 1983. Hipshot who make his bridges showed up at a gig and schmoozed me and I showed them mine (dumb move but I am sure they had seen it on the web anyhow). While the bridges Mike uses may well have been delivered before mine arrived at his shop one can only presume that him being such a big Thunderbird fan he was already aware of mine. .... Mark please know that I truly am greatful for you trying to get Mike to use one of my bridges on you bass. I do have a hard time understanding how it could not be installed on your bass with the correct mounting studs and without technical explanation from Mike, I can only presume he just wanted to use his. If Mike had called me and talked it over I would not feel so "hosed" as Bill so aptly put it.
