Babicz Full Contact Bridge for Gibson basses

Imagine my joy at seeing this:

I've always been very happy with the Babicz bridge on my Squier Affinity P Bass so being able to change the piece of **** bridge which came on my Epiphone Gothic Thunderbird for a Babicz really has an appeal. At a converted price of £100 though? That's half the price of the bass!

The standard Epiphone bridge really is crap. Trying to adjust the action is near impossible. The leading screw is seized solid and it's going to take some serious effort to loosen it. Once (if!) the Babicz replacements come down to a sensible price, I will have to have a black one.
