    OT: Hipshot XTender

    OK, I'm looking at getting a BT1 or two. One is going on my fretted HS Bongo for sure. I'm debating if I should put one on my BD fretless Bongo too. Those are the 2 basses going to college with me for sure, my dad want's me to take a 3rd bass, though I'm not quite sure why. Anyways, what do you think? Do you think a Hipshot is worthwhile on a fretless? I actually prefer playing fretless over fretted, so I'm thinking yes.

    Also, if you have a BT1 that you'd like to get rid of, let me know; it'll save me some money that I can use at college for housing, cell phone, strings, etc.
