I want to buy this bridge, but I don't know if it's worth it. Has anybody bought one?  Bass Parts Resource* ::*Aftermarket Economy Bass Bridges

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2011 Location: Colorado Springs, Colorado | | | The reason why I'm thinking about getting it is because it has grooves for the saddle screws which would help me out tremendously, and it looks to be high mass, which I don't really care about, but whatever. I also would like to know if it would fit under a Jazz bridge cover. It it doesn't, I'm not getting it.

|  | Pimpin' Spectors (I lay it out for y'all) | | Join Date: Apr 2011 Location: Staten Island, NYC | | I had the same bridge in black that I purchased here. BLACK ECONOMY BASS BRIDGE FOR FENDER® P JAZZ BASS | eBay
I was very happy with it.
I parted the bass and sold the bridge and the new owner said he was very happy too.
It fits perfect for a fender style 5 screw mount. It is alot better quality then you would think from looking at the photo and the price. I say go for it. |

I had problems with my saddles sliding about on my MIM jazz with the single string saddle slot but I also owned a deluxe P with the threaded saddles and the saddles stayed put.
And a bridge cover will fit right over them.

How does this bridge sound compared to the standard Fender bridge?

Add to that the very real possibility that it won't fit under the bridge cover, and you may well find yourself wishing that you'd bought the threaded saddles--the real fix for your problem--instead.

I used to like them, but I'm not sure what happened. I changed strings, and was anxious to play, so I played the bass before I put the covers back on, and just decided to leave them off.
I'm buying the Hwy 1 threaded saddles as well as the bridge.
