I am a Hipshot Products fan. If I need a guitar part. I will buy Hipshot first if they have the part. The 3-string retainer is my choice for a 4-string bass. You really don't need a retainer on the E string, but it holds every other string tight on the nut, it looks great, and it is from Hipshot.

It was lighter than I thought it would be, but holds the force of the strings over the nut just fine.There really isn't much to say other than I'd buy it again. Although for a four string bass maybe just get the 2-string unit and save the 3-string one for a five string bass.

Works exactly as described and light weight. It is a big improvement over the button style retainer it replaced. Took a couple of minutes to install and the design makes is very easy to change strings. Also, the matte black finish looks great.

Great product. the way this hipshot retainer manages your 3 high strings is really useful and it takes a less space than the typical round retainer.

Nice high quality, some machining marks still buy I don't mind, doesn't match the rest of the black hardware on my bass (cheap Chinese stuff) but it blends in with the headstock. I'm using it on a 4 string that had trouble with the A string not having enough pressure over the nut, works wonderfully for that purpose although finding a place for it was difficult.
