Upgrading an SX (essex) short scale pbass.

This may be a dumb question but I am curious as to what brand hardware will best retrofit onto an SX 30” pbass from rondomusic.com. I bought it in december for my girlfriend, and she loves it. I was cery impressed with everything about the bass except the bridge and tuners..... might as well have been made out of tin foil.

it seems to me that a number of years ago i saw an old thread where someone had to fill and redrill the bridge mounting holes to accommodate a standard fender 5 screw bridge, but searching i couldnt find it again. Maybe someone will remember who posted it, or that i am mistaken in thinking that was an SX bass because they can accommodate fender hardware.


Thanks in advanced, i love this community
