And don't forget the two piece Warwick bridge, they used for a while.

Probably the best bridge of all (especially in black...).
Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it.

I think that bridge/tailpiece is on the LP BFG as well.

It most certainly was! & in black......

And this is unusual for Gibson how?  ;)

Just sayin' of course. I wanted to applaud their sense of tradition: They keep going back to the same tried and trusted failures. BTW: That type of bridge doesn't adjust that well under string pressure either unless you want to mess up all screws.



OTOH, intonation is easy even for beginners with this bridge - even if you go back with all the saddles as  f--->a--->r  as they can go, you'll still end up a little sharp on each string.  ;D

 Mike Lull had it playing great and cleaned up in under an hour, it's a really nice bass, I'm digging it!

Beautiful.
