Schecter Hellraiser 4 Bridge change

[Jamesrt2004]

Hi there..

I have a Schecter Hellraiser 4 which I purchased off this forum a while back. Im going to play with it a little (duncan or bartoli pickups) and a new bridge...

Saddle screws are stripped so I can't really do anything with them.. now I would just change them (but they wont turn at all :/) so I may just go for the old bridge upgrade...

Currently the bridge supports both methods of either string through the body or onto the bridge.. I probably will end up using string through (if not I can't do much about it..)

but yeah.. What bridge would you reccomend that would work well for this situation, as I have no idea where to start.. as all info on bridges just seem to be for P bass.

I tried contacting schecter but had no reply :'(

Cheers,
James

I'm not familiar with the bridge that's already on that bass.

If the body of the bass is completely flat under the bridge then you could use just about any aftermarket bridge. You'll probably have to drill new holes to fit the bridge but it will all be covered by the bridge plate so there are no issues there.

When it comes to positioning the new bridge, just use the old one as a guide - you want the bridge saddles of the new one to be roughly at the same place as the old one. You don't need to be millimetre accurate along the length of the string as the saddle adjustment will allow for that.

So have a look at the following links and see what styles take your fancy
