replacement bridge

[50hz]

im looking to replace the stock bridge on my fender standard jazz MIM. I like to get something heavier and more chunky. if at all possible I'd like a direct drop in replacement that doesn't require me to do any drilling or body work. any suggestions?

IIRC, any standard 5 hole mount bridge will fit. How much do you want to spend?

Hipshot, Babicz, BAII, Gotoh 201, etc.

I'm thinking around $100 or so

I've used Schaller roller bridges, Badass bridges, and the Gotoh 201 bridge. I currently have the Gotoh 201 on my Squier VM P-bass and love it. They are all good but the Schaller gives you a roller to adjust string spacing with. And it's a good solid bridge. It only has 3 bolts, but bolts right up to any Fender bolt pattern and is a great solid bridge. The Gotoh has the most reasonable price with the Schaller in the middle and the Badass the highest price. I'd persoanlly go with the slotted Badass if you chosse that bridge. Save you time and money from having to have it slotted. As in any thing you buy, make sure you buy from a dealer that has a good return policy. Hope this helps.

The Babicz bridges are on special now at Amazon. Around $67.
