"I am long time user, Hipshot D-Tuner have been a part of my gear for years. I love seeing the guitar player struggling to switch guitars in time for the next song while I just flick the Hipshot and I am ready to go. Best thing is that it takes you all but 3 minutes to install them on the bass. Hipshot all the way!!!"   Check out: www.marten.cc

"I've been using the Hipshot B-Bending System exclusively since 1983. Without exception, all my signature guitars with Fender and G&L have always come standard with Hipshots. It's the only way to go." Please check out : www.willray.biz www.hellecasters.com

"I love the Hipshot Ric bridge. It's a night & day improvement over the stock bridge. String response, playability, punch, sustain, tone, & clarity are all improved dramatically. " "The bass now plays in tune all the way up & down the neck. You can adjust each string individually for height, intonation & spacing." "Installation is a breeze. You can do it yourself with no problems. The mounting holes line up perfectly with the stock holes. All you need is a philips screwdriver." "And, it looks great, it retains the look of the stock bridge." “Rickenbacker is a registered trademark of Rickenbacker International Corporation.

Being under the gun on stage, I appreciate the ease and consistent accuracy the Hipshot D-Tuner gives me.  I’m a true believer… - Kimberley Dahme Kimberley has the privilege and distinction to be the first female Musician in the band BOSTON.  Presently, Ms. Dahme is collaborating in the recording studio with Tom Scholz and BOSTON , at the same time working on material for her next solo CD offering.  Find out more about Kimberley Dahme on her website:  www.kimberley.de www.bandboston.com

"I love the US Contour Tremolo bridge and the BabyGrand Guitar Bridge! They are the best designed, best sounding, and most rock-solid bridges that I know of. They make my job much easier" check out: www.henrykaiser.net

Originally, I tried the Ultralite tuners and the Style A aluminum bridge to reduce total weight on one of my basses. I was not expecting any tonal differences, but to my surprise the Hipshot hardware enhanced the tonal qualities of my bass. Being the curious audiophile, I performed an A/B comparison between audio tracks recorded with Hipshot hardware and with my previous hardware. The comparison focused on the wave envelopes. What I discovered on the Hipshot track was a strong, well defined peak on the initial note attack compared to weak note attack from my previous hardware. All other variables in the comparison were identical. Hipshot hardware is now mandatory on all of my "Boyd Bass Design" basses as it is an integral component to my sound, my basses stays in tune plus the hardware looks great! I will not do a studio session or gig without Hipshot hardware installed on my bass! Byron Santo www.ByronSanto.com www.myspace.com/byronsanto

"As a bass player, one of my most important considerations is the tone of my bass. I must have a wonderful tone as well as good time and weight. "It's all in the fingers" is a very true statement, but there is a little more to it than that. I am a classically trained bassist, and enjoy the use of the low B in the symphony orchestra, but in other styles of music, the search for ‘bottom end’ has resulted in a move towards multiple strings on electric basses. I have tried many different and wonderful instruments in the last few years, but I have gone back to four strings because I personally find the tone of a four string to be of superior quality and weight. I am convinced by the sound of the four string bass, both electric and upright. However, and most importantly, if it hadn't been for Hipshot bass extenders, I would not be able to compete on record and gigs down past 40Hz. The discovery of the wonderful world of Hipshot extenders has returned me to a level playing field. I use Hipshot extenders on all my electric instruments, when playing bass in my daughters band, on gigs and on many sessions with my ‘'79 and '80 Musicman fretted and fretless basses, my '72 Precision, my '62 Jazz and a lovely Martin Acoustic bass. Hipshot extenders are a wonderful invention; I am delighted with them because they are well designed, well engineered and very reliable. I heartily recommend Hipshot bass extenders to all my fellow Tone Chasers." Dave Markee. [Armatrading, Clapton, etc etc] http://www.myspace.com/davemarkee

Hipshot bass extenders allow me to use my 4-string basses for 95% of the time where I would otherwise have to carry my 5-string basses. I get all the benefits of a 5-string without the burden of carrying them.Twice the benefits, half the burden! Extend what you have!Suffering from E-D? Get a Hipshot extender!
