    I've never really done anything like this so I'm wondering how I'd go about changing the bridge on one of these. Are there any bridges that would just be able to be put into place without redrilling/threading and having uncovered screw holes?

    Measure your bridge, figure out where the screws go, how many of them there are, and how far away from each other they are. I had to replace a bridge once, and it wasn't the most painful experience. I had to drill new holes and whatnot, but in the end it was well worth it. What was NOT, however, was coming home from work at 11 pm to see my guitarist in my house, slightly drunk, holding my bass with no strings/bridge saying "we need a drill!" Not fun.
