Bridges that fit Fender

[OriginalCrash]

With all the aftermarket bridges out there, I was wondering... Which ones specifically will fit a Fender/Squier bass without any modding or drilling? I know the BadAss bridges do, but what others (if any) are there?

If the bass is a standard 4-string with the bridge held on by 5 screws, there are any number of aftermarket bridges that bolt right in. In addition to the BA-II, there are offering by Hipshot and Gotoh. The Gotoh 201 ($30.00 from warmouth.com) seems like a very good value -- direct bolt-in, higher mass. I've put one on my Squier 70s Vintage Modified Jazz. Certain Squiers (like the new 60's Vibe Jazz) have 5-screw bridges, but I've read here that the screw holes are not standard spacing, and some drilling may be required to replace it.

Check Out Hipshot!

Yep, four strings, five screws... Does anyone know if Gotoh has their own site? Whenever I search for them, all I can find are different dealers...

Thanks, so I'm guessing Hosco is the parent company? I had actually found that site before, but hadn't realized it was their homepage.

Np, Hosco seems the export agent of Gotoh, I think that Gotoh does not have a web page.

Ah, nonetheless, thanks... That seems to be the most "official" page Gotoh has...
