Help installing Gotoh bridge on Aria Pro II MAB-20

Is this possible? my bass is just like the one in this picture:

... so the bridge currently installed has four screw holes at each corner of the bridge where the gotoh has a fender style 5 screw system at the back of the bridge. so..

is this something a qualified technician should handle? I felt like id rather not fork out another hundred bucks or so to have it installed and just do it myself, so if possible could you offer any advice?

hmm the way it looks at this point is that I should just shop for a bridge that will fit!

It's not particularly hard to change a bridge. If your Aria were mine, I'd do it myself.

When you put in the new bridge, it has to be centered, to keep the strings where they go. It has to be placed so that your scale length is fairly close.

If you have a hand drill, screwdriver, and measuring tape, you basically have it covered.
