a bridge that lock in your intonation?

i did a set up tonight and it was way off, i'm almost surprised how off it was. i know that stuff rattles causing it to go out of whack, so i'm wondering if they make a drop in bridge for a mia fender p that will lock the intonation in place, and not ruin my bass(if i ever decide to go back).

Dunno bout dropin, but there are several bridges that lock in place via allen screw- Warwick, some Hipshot. A cheaper fix would be blue(non-permanent)Loctite.

You said yourself in your other thread that you waited a year to adjust it. You don't need any hardware, you just need to fine tune it more often.

Edit: also, locking in your intonation wouldn't make any sense unless you could also lock in your neck relief, string height, and freeze your strings in time.
