Someone on here had a moody Bigsby alongside a real one at some point didn't they - maybe they can provide more details? Was it @Fatberg on his Casino?
From what I remember you could definitely tell the difference when they're sat next to each other, what that means when they're on the guitar, not sure.

Hey man yeah. Bought a moody chromed steel Chinese B5 for my late 90s Epi Riviera (like a 335 but with a trapeze tailpiece).
I took months to arrive, was crappy, cheap looking, cheap-feeling, weighed a ton and i felt it would be doing the (sub £300 s/h) guitar a disservice to put it on.
Bought proper a s/h sand-cast aluminium B7 and they're night and day. I love it.
I hung on to the fakey one thinking I might put it on a cheap tele or something, but to be honest I'm not gonna. If anyone wants it for a virtual beer or forum donation, they're welcome.

Anyone has experience with AliExpress or similar B5 copies? Will be building up a pretty cheap partscaster Tele in the next month or two and tempted to put a Bigsby on it but don't want to pay full whack. Already have a Wilkinson bridge but happy to move it on/just keep the compensated saddles if need be.
