    Hipshot pics

    I know this has been brought up a few times over the last year, but nobody has posted any good pics. I received a hipshot BT1 from a Pitter last week for about 35 bucks cheaper than a new one. Been wanting one for awhile, so the time was right. I am not all that handy and was just going to give my luthier 20 bucks to pop it in. Well, after 10 minutes of work I can spend the 20 bucks on beer. It was pretty easy. Here are some pics, I am pretty happy so far.

    Slow down, Paul. Next you'll be putting a new tile floor in your girl's bathroom.

    You think that's enough to stop a woman with remodeling on her mind? Hah.

    Hey Paul ~ could you post a full body shot of this bass? I've got the same exact one coming to me any day now, would love to get an idea of how it's going to look.

    Thanks!

    You must have missed my first thread, you can find it here. And as a bonus for you James, I threw my white pearl on real quick for an extra special preview.

    Thanks Paul! I just went to the other thread, and those outdoor shots really bring out the texture of that CR finish. Nice!

    Okay...now I'm twitchin' again!

    Drops the 'E' string down anywhere from a half step to a step & a half (normally down to 'D' on std tuning four strings) with the turn of a lever.....instead of manually tuning.
