So Im thinking of polishing a turd. I have an ESP B50 that id like to replace the bridge and tuning pegs/machines. Any suggestions? Will prob take it to a shop for the pegs, but going to do the bridge and pups myself.

Replacement bridge And tuning pegs for ESP B50

Hmm. New parts hardly make this bass better or rise its value. But you'll spend as much as entire bass costs now. Better idea is to sell it and upgrade to higher model. However, if it has sentimental value to you then it is ok to throw some money into it. Gotoh anf Hipshot are decent makers of hardware, check their websites for bridges and tuners.
Why bring it to someone for the tuning pegs? Gotoh and Hipshot make great drop in replacements. I would use the Gotoh pegs though. They're cheaper. For a bridge, I have no suggestion as the next step up from what you have there would be pretty expensive. I imagine anything that would drop in on a Fender would fit, though.
