What problem are you trying to correct?

The word 'upgrade" implies that there is a problem or deficiency that you are trying to correct.

They wont line up right. Also theres a buzz on the g string.
Im not sure why it is?

 

[Pilgrim]

Alignment is indeed potentially a problem - however, based on the photos I pulled up, the strings aren't supposed to go in line with the pole pieces, but between them.

The buzz has nothing to do with the bridge - that's a setup or fret problem.

Has anyone who knows how to setup instruments taken a look at this? Sounds to me like you need a good setup before you spend $ for a bridge.

Also, the BB615 and BB415 have 18mm spacing. The one you listed is much tighter than that @ 16.5mm.

I'd suggest posting a picture so we see what you mean. I believe a good setup is a better first step.

Best of luck,

Bob
