Hi I've acquired an old Fender Jazz body that I'm going to build back into a working bass again. It has 5 holes drilled at the moment for the bridge mount, and as close as I can measure I believe the distance between the holes is 17.5mm. Does anyone know what the drill hole spacing is on a 3 hole bridge as I'm exploring my options of what bridges I can fit. I like the idea of the Gotoh 201 in principle but have read that the thick baseplate adds height to the strings that is awkward to get a low action on. If I can fit a 3 hole bridge to the body my options would be opened up considerably. The two outer holes of the 3 hole pattern look as if they fall just inside the location of the 2 outers on the 5 hole pattern, but I'm thinking if they're too close the wood could be come unstable between the 2 drills. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Just bought a jazz shielding kit, it arrived 2 days after we spoke! Amazing service, thanks very much!! Steve

Ah!! You genius, thanks for this!!

Does anyone know the difference between these: 007-6568-000 and 001-3187-000 Can it be just that one comes with bushings and a screw??

wow, its gone up a lot. looks like he now knows what he;'s selling as the listing has been changed.

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1393577264' post='2382010'] I got a Warmoth quarter sawn, graphite stiffners, graphite nut, nitro finished neck for about half that. [/quote] Really? £250 for a Warmoth, where??

I'm edging more towards the top one myself. The middle one is too similar to the stock Fender reissue...

Thankfully my building is better than my photoshop butchering!

Which of these three do you prefer? Ignore the fact that one is a Squier and one is a Marcus Miller, I'm just asking about the fingerboard/blocks options
