Anyone have tried to change the bridge on an DJ5? and do you know how the stringthrough on the bass will align with the stringthrough on the Badass V or Hipshot A bridge?

I am kinda planing to make my black sparkle "in the mail" DJ5 an Stealthish DJ, so that means the bridge will have to be swapped.. Its also slightly becouse of that I realy dont like the look of their bridge (My only visual complaint)

IMHO DJ5's are already badassed!:bassist:

Why not black powder coat the existing one?

There was a picture of a natural JO5 with a badass on it & I thought it looked great!
I was going to do that on my black DJ 4 at one point, but when I took off the Lakland bridge there was an oval indent in the clear coat that was far too visible, so killed that.
Other than aesthetics I don't think there'd be any advantage, especially if you string through the body.
