Thank You Lunginsam...…….The washers you mentioned, would they be M8 washers ? I read about using the M8 washers as you mentioned which helps the situation to keep the studs in the body from pulling out if you over tighten the bolts. Now, did the Hipshot come with the correct size bolts to match the stud size on the Bass ? I was also looking at the Babicz 3 point bridge also which happens to be a few bucks more than the Hipshot. Seems the Hipshot offers all the same as the Babciz benefits but also the ability of string spacing.
