Where did you get the metric bolts from and what’s the thread size (M8?)? 😎

[@bass-hiroshimanick2534]

Thanks for watching. The two set of bolts, metric and imperial, came with the Hipshot bridge and yes, the metric are M8.

@@bass-hiroshimanick2534 Hey! Thanks so much!! I’m seriously considering getting the Epiphone model as my next project Bass. 😎

[@bass-hiroshimanick2534]

@@mccypr , You're welcome. That sounds like a great idea for a project, keep me posted.

Thanks! What about the grounding wire? I understand it goes to one of these bushings' holes. Shouldn't there be a contact with the new bridge?

[@bass-hiroshimanick2534]

Thanks for watching and asking. You are correct the ground wire is in the bushing hole nearest to the controls just like on a Gibson Les Paul Bass. The original Gibson 3 Point Bridge doesn't make contact with the body so there was never a ground wire connected to the bridge only to the bushing. I can assure you the SG Bass is well grounded and sounds great with the HipShot Bridge.

@@bass-hiroshimanick2534 Thanks! So I assume it should make a contact through the Hipshot bridge bolt.

[@bass-hiroshimanick2534]

@@gwawd , yes the ground wire is making contact with the bolt.
