    Indeed. Plus it's a lovely chunky bridge, and I really like those on basses.

    Thanks mate. Not cheap at around $35 each for the 3 stringed unit but free shipping from the states has most likely bumped the price. Need to do something to improve the A string break angle forward of the nut on my J Bass and think this should do the trick.

    Thanks 3B, that looks like the $35 hipshot unit on eBay and would do the trick.
