Aftermarket Bridge: Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Bass V

awilkie84 · #1 07-30-2011, 06:25 PM

Finding information on this bass outside of the original manufacturer specs is next to impossible. Most likely because it's only been out for a few months at the most.

It appears to use the vintage pattern, 6 screws at the rear of the bridge.

Does anyone know of a good, high-mass direct replacement bridge?

When mine comes in 7 days I am ordering a Babicz high mass. It sits on 3 of my Fender's now. I love that bridge. My next one will be black as well as hipshot black tuners. Love it when the brown truck stops at my house. Yes children there is a Santa Clause and he is a Teamster. Lmao

Cool bridge, but it's not a direct replacement. Would require re-drilling

I'm in a similar situation with my Squier MB-5, it also has a 6-mounting screw pattern. The string spacing on mine is over a total of 2 5/8", looking for a properly fitting bridge for it is maddening.

I had acquired a leo quan badass V used in hoping it would fit, but the mounting screws(it had 6 as well) were to widely spaced, and the string spacing was at about 3", completely unusable on my bass.

My next move is to try a HiMass Vintage bridge that comes on the fender american standard line, I keep looking for one in store to get a measurement, but I have not come across one as of yet, it has a 4 bolt mounting pattern that looks to be the same as the inner 4 holes on the MB-5's bridge, and quite frankly, 4 would suffice.

Did anybody manage to find a high mass direct replacement bridge?

Try this one. * WD Music Products - 5 STRING BASS BRIDGE CHROME

It's a WD 6-hole 18mm spaced bass bridge. I linked you to the chrome, but it's also available in black and gold.

I think that's your best possibility.

Best of luck,

Bob
