Help on improving Squier VM series fretless

Hi guys, I just got my squier vintage modified fretless yesterday and as you know they are awesome. I am considering changing the bridge, tuners and possibly pick ups in that order. What brass saddle bridge would you all recommend for that great sustain sound I want? Possibly a brass nut? Please just point me in some direction for me to possibly achieve beautiful sustaining long notes!:)

Your best bet is to play it for a few weeks and REALLY get to know it before you start modding. Then you'll know which way you want to go with it.

Brass will help with the sustain, but it's by far not the only factor.
