The Babicz looks fine/not out of place on the TBird and it certainly is a nifty gadget with some new ideas. Not on the SG though.

And, yup, the roller bridges were very low - that was fine/perfect on some basses and created issues on others.

The Schaller Roller Bridge is a fine bridge. It's very low profile though, and would probably have to have an even larger riser block than the Babicz to work with the current Thunderbird.

I was joking, but yeah, probably wouldn't work on a 'bird. The saddles on my LP are pretty high, which is actually good.

And will be worth about half that the minute you take it home. This is why I very, very rarely buy anything new.

Well, I'm stocked with all I need...but I know our market won't pay that. i think that price actually went up since the CDN dollar went down. I'm certain that was showing $25xx at one point.

I'd get a Lull at that price point.

The Canadian prices have gone up.

It's the Thunderbird for people who were daunted/put off slightly by TBirds before. They have gently and effectively modernized it. The sound is still TBird, but with a wider range of nuances. I'm pleased by the outcome. Fret job is a dream come true.
