Its a spectacularly awful ad; I can't see it without cringing.

I don't think there's a way to do this on a maple fingerboard, so I never do those, but on an unlacquered fingerboard (I've done rosewood, pau ferro, and ebony boards) there are a few methods. I used to use a screwdriver shaft to compress the wood at the edge of the fingerboard to round it off, however I now favour using an extra fine sanding pad (eg https://amzn.to/3sFbdxl) This is a much quicker job and an additional benefit of this is that it also rounds off the edges on the frets making them extra comfy on the fingers. Taking the neck off the guitar/bass to do this makes it easier. I've done this on instruments ranging in cost from £100 to £1200 and have always been pleased with the results. Update: this is the exact pad I have most recently used, a Bosch superfine -> https://amzn.to/46gIM6B

I've found some pics. I'm interested in how the chrome bridges look fitted, so that's what I've been looking for. Not as many thunderbird pics — especially non-reverse as I'd hoped I think I'm now leaning towards getting a babicz based purely on aesthetics; the overall shape of the hipshot looks a bit more out of place on a thunderbird than the babicz. I'm not in love with the branding being so prominent though.

I have a non-reverse thunderbird incoming and I'm not a fan of the stock gibson 3 point bridge, so I'm looking into replacing it with a Hipshot SuperTone or Babicz. I slightly prefer the look of the hipshot in pics of just the bridge, but the babicz can be obtained at a lower cost from bass direct. I've not seen a lot of pics with these fitted, so if you have one, feel free to post a pic or two here — it will greatly help me see which one I prefer the look of when fitted.
