I have seen them tip forward and even deform under high tension strings.

OK now I see it. This thing is worse than a Ric tail lift. I had uprights with lower action.

A contraption that is testament to undiluted designing skills.

My EB-1 is back from the shop and still sporting the old bridge. The new design has not gone in to fabrication but John Mann told me there could be a time eventually when he asks for my bass back to fit it for the new design. If anyone is interested in seeing where it could go feel free to let him know your interest is peaked.

For now I'll settle for my bridge being functional with a wooden block adding extra support from underneath it's chassis. It was nice to plug the old girl in to the mesa walkabout and crank the gain for a while until my wife complained.  ;)

Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.
