DESCRIPTION

If you play a bass equipped with a traditional Gibson-style three-point bridge, you are likely familiar with its inherent mechanical frustrations. While those classic vintage instruments look and sound great, the stock factory bridges often shift out of place under normal playing tension, throwing your intonation off and making achieving a solid setup a true challenge. The Hipshot Supertone Gibson replacement bridge is exactly what you need to permanently solve these setup issues.

The Supertone is a retrofit solution that mounts flawlessly using your instrument's existing threaded inserts. This means you get a massive tone upgrade without having to drill any new holes or permanently modify your valuable bass. You can easily revert the instrument to its stock configuration if you ever decide to. The exact measurements are on the product page, so make sure that you check them against the bridge installed on your bass to confirm it will be an exact retrofit. There have been several iterations of Gibson bridges across the decades, so it is always best to double-check your measurements.

The Supertone features fully independent, precision-machined saddles that allow for incredibly accurate intonation adjustments. It completely eliminates the guesswork of the old three-point balancing act. It also gives you the ability to easily adjust your string spacing from side to side, aligning the strings perfectly over your pickup poles and tailoring the feel to your specific playing style.

By replacing the floating three-point design with a solid block of high-quality aircraft-grade aluminum or solid brass, the Supertone dramatically improves the mechanical coupling between your strings and the body. This solid, flush-mounted connection completely eliminates unwanted saddle rattle and hardware shifting. The direct transfer of energy provides a highly noticeable increase in natural sustain, low-end punch, and overall string definition. Choosing the solid brass option will yield a warmer, thicker fundamental tone with natural compression, while the aircraft-grade aluminum version provides a quicker transient attack and a brilliant, open high end. Both options ensure that your bass resonates fully.

Available in a variety of finishes to match your existing hardware, the Supertone instantly modernizes a not-so-solid design to a gig-ready standard. If your Gibson-style bass is holding you back due to unstable hardware, take a close look at the Hipshot Supertone bridge. It is an upgrade that will make your setup process much easier and keep your bass playing exactly how you want it to.
