BIG improvement for Gibson and Epiphone basses

Hipshot Supertone Bass Bridge


Read 4 Reviews   |   Write a Review

Hipshot offers a brilliantly designed replacement for the 3-point elevated bridge used on Gibson and Epiphone solidbody basses since 1973. The Supertone bridge installs in the existing stud holes, solidly contacting the body for improved stability, tone and sustain. It's more functional than the stock bridge too, with fully adjustable intonation, saddle height AND string spacing—a nice touch for adapting comfortably to a variety of neck widths. The Supertone is precisely machined from solid aircraft-quality aluminum for great tone. Strings can be mounted on the bridge, or through the body. Gibson and Epiphone players, this is the bridge you've been waiting for!

Perfect drop in for Epiphone Thunderbird bass

I got this and had it installed in 30 minutes. It was a perfect fit for my Epiphone Thunderbird IV. It now has much more sustain and punch and intonation can be set better than the stock bridge. It also doesn't cause the string windings or the cloth coveings over the ends to rest on the saddle - way better! Can't say enough about this bridge.

Great upgrade

I ordered the 3-point supertone bridge for my 1994 Gibson Thuderbird bass.I ordered it on a Friday and got it on Monday.That's what I call fast sevice!It sounds much better than the original bridge which left alot to be desired. Much more tone and sustain and ease of adjustments.It's like a whole new bass.All I can say is GET IT!

Great replacement bridge my less expensive Bass

I picked up an old late 70s Penco bass in excellent condition for $50 which is a very close replica of an actual Gibson SG style bass. The main problem was the cheapo bridge on it. I needed a replacement and I chose the Hipshot Supertone Bass Brigde.

It changed this instrument from an old cheapo to a very good playing bass that I use in recording. This bridge is very well made and has great adjustment capabilities.

Great improvement

There are many people who have a less than stellar view of the Gibson 3 point bridge. This solves the problems on solid body basses. A considerable improvement in setup and intonation capability. Adequate distance so you are not trying to intonate a string with silks on the saddle.
