3 screws in a P BBOT?

[bremen]

I have here (waves vaguely in direction of kitchen table) a Precision type bridge. It allows for through-body or old-school stringing. Rather than the usual five screwholes, it only has three.

If I string it up the old-school way, will these three screws be enough to hold the bridge down, or must I use through-body?

I thank you in advance for your helpful replies and links to amusing Youtube clips (both welcome).

The new Fender High Mass Vintage bass bridges and the Badass 3 bridges are 3 screw and dual string loading units. I have both and have strung through bridge and through body on both with absolutely no problems.

Hope that helps

It certainly does. Thanks!
