No, I hate gold hardware as well.
especially when it gets all pitted/corroded and disgusting looking.

gold hardware can only exist on black or white guitars.

i don't think Bigsby manufactures them...there's a guy on the Gretsch Pages that modified a guitar Bigsby to use on one of his basses.

Hmm. I'm just thinking of standard bridge placements -- not many recent basses would work well for that. Still want.

you'd need to find something other than a typical solidbody layout, true. the GP guy had a Gretsch bass (duur) which is hollow and had a trapeze tail originally. perhaps something like the new Hagstrom Viking, the Ibanez semi-hollows, or the Epiphone Allen Woody.

Put one on my Telecaster and it's the best thing I ever did. The Mastery Bridge take the Bigsby from annoying to awesome.

I don't think there is any vibrato sexier than a Bigsby.

Bigsby rules!, my oldest guitar has one and it's the main reason for keeping that guitar!, I don't like Floyd Rose or other tremolo bars.

there's just something about a Bigsby on a tele. I want to play Tim's really bad.

Here's a picture of it in action, since I'm such an attention whore. If you look carefully, you'll see that the control plate is normal (as opposed to flipped in the above picture).
