It's new bridge day. I've had a Gotoh bridge on the black one ('94 MIM Jazz) since I bought it 2 years ago. But you know how it is - you read something on TB and you just have to try out.

Someone was looking for a good 3-hole-mount Fender replacement bridge for an American Fender that's strung through the body. Someone mentioned the Babicz. Why not drill some holes and bolt one on? No drill press used so a nice curve to the row of grommets.

Love what it's done for the instrument. Getting it set up and intonated took more than a minute. It's a nice piece of Made in Taiwan hardware. Highly recommend. Makes it a very solid-playing instrument. More mwah/gallon.

I put one on my jazz bass last week.
Easier than I thought it'd be.
