P bass Bridge

[TylerDurden111]

I lost a spring in my mexican P bass bridge, not to big a worry but heres my question

should i spend the minimal amount of money for a new spring or whatever piece it was,
or
use it as an excuse to buy a new bridge? Are they worth it and if so which do you recommend?

That's kind of like rebuilding the engine when you need an oil change... But if you want a new bridge, go for it.

Which spring? My initial response is to repair this one.

Do new bridges really make a difference because everybody seems to rave about the badass II but is it worth 90$

where are you seeing the BAII bridge at $90? that's a tad high for what i've seen it at lately...
You can get one brand new at $55, and gold ones at $70

Stick with the bridge you have. They're fine and for the $$$ you won't get that much of a tonal change. Buy a spring at your local hardware store and use it. If you really want to spend 90 bucks, then go buy a set of new pickups.

I PREFER the sound of the standard bridge over a high mass replacement.

ya, i called my local shop and he said he would just give a new spring to me for around 5 cents. so 5cents is a little better then $90 imo.

I'd say so!
