Spector Bridge

[Blacimbla]

I love my Rebop 5 but I hate the bridge. Is there an aftermarket bridge that will fit this body style, or do I just have to suck it up?

Suck it up, my friend...

Due to the bridge being slightly recessed into the body, it makes a 'direct replacement' nearly impossible.

If you don't mind me asking, what exactly don't you like about the bridge? I found it took some getting used to, but eventually I did figure out that it is a pretty good design & has lots of advantages.

I don't like the saddles...I guess at some point the locking screw on my bridge got lost and now they all fall out unless I balance the bass precariously while I'm changing the strings. I also don't like the way you have to adjust intonation. It's definitely not something that would cause me to get rid of the bass, it's just a pain. From what I understand the sonic characteristics of the bridge are pretty good.

you can get a new allen head screw at most hardware stores.
