I think EMG pickups are another thing which attract irrational vitriol...

I’m left with an SG and a Gretsch Electromatic.
Some of my favourite players are expert Bigsby abusers.
Neil Young, Richard Hawley and a few others, Rockabilly types etc.
Sadly I can’t play like any of them and just use it for a shimmer effect now and again. To this end the two guitars I play most don’t have one.
Bigsbys do look cool though...
I totally live it. Looks and function.
i have a Gretsch-style bar bridge with it now and love it.

If Bigsby made one for a bass guitar I'd use it!
The best part about them is that you can easily move the bar out the way and still use alternate tunings.
Re-stringing annoys me, as previously mentioned elsewhere.
I don't like trems but the Bigsby gives me just enough wobble to add some flavour without being OTT.
