JimRayden Posted April 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Alright, bringing the ol' topic up again. I found a nameless copy of a bigsby B5. It's pretty cheap but how low can the quality go? Would too cheap of a vibrato result in going out of tune, etc? ------------- Jimbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put a clone on my tele clone and had no tuning issues. I don't think it'd be the bigsby giving problems anyway, that'd be more the fault of the nut/tuners/string trees.

JimRayden Posted April 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Yea but maybe the cheapest ones use different materials that would bend with temperature and time. I guess not. ----------- Jimbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimRayden Posted April 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 (edited) Yea, B50 is about 100 bucks. That's cheap. But I found alot cheaper clone. I won't reveal the source until I got it tight in my little greedy hands. Actually I'm just surfing around on the well-known online fleamarket for some good offers. If you see a user named "taaviaudio" bidding, please don't ruin it for me. ------------- Jimbo Edited April 15, 2005 by JimRayden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
