Bridges don't matter much to me as long as they don't have any sharp bits to grab at my flesh or snag my cleaning rags, and they enable me to intonate my bass and adjust the action quickly and accurately. I like a drop-in bridge that saves me the trouble of threading each string through a hole, and one whose settings don't change over time - especially while I'm changing strings. |

...I'd get one of these: 
Made by Kevin Moore at KSM Music in Logan, UT ( www.ksmmusic.com). They come in black, silver or gold...for $150, that is!
I couldn't justify that kinda cabbage, so I got a BadAss II for each of my Js and a Gotoh 201 for my P. |

My vote goes to Hipshot. This ham-handed idiot (me) has managed to bungle bridge intonation screws, tuner tensioners, and Lord-knows-what-else over the years. A phone call or e-mail to Jason Ungelich @ Hipshot and the problem is solved. Need a replacement bridge and not quite sure which component is appropriate? Send measurements, pics, whatever and the staff will steer you in the right direction.
