Bridge for Squier Vintage Modified Jazz 5?

[1976fenderhead]

I've just bought this bass from a fellow basschatter and I think I will want to replace the bridge at some point. I'm not too fussed about bridges but this one does allow for a lot of lateral movement of the saddles which affects tuning, so I'd just like one that keeps them steady laterally.

It has 6 screws. I'd preferably like something that matches this so I wouldn't have to redrill, but if not possible then I'll take something else.

What do you guys recommend?

You can see the bridge in this photo: [url="http://cdn1.gbase.com/usercontent/gear/3022904/p1_uiwahnpto_so.jpg"]http://cdn1.gbase.co...iwahnpto_so.jpg[/url]

The only one I've found so far that seems to match the screws is this one: [url="http://www.allparts.uk.com/online-shop/guitar-bass-parts/guitar-bass-parts-general/bridges-parts-tailpieces/bridges/bass-bridges/bass-bridges-5-string/economy-heavy-duty-5-string-bass-bridge-2-p-1761.html"]http://www.allparts....e-2-p-1761.html[/url]

But the string grooves look all too much to the left, which seems like it will make all the strings be off-centre above the pickup dots...?

This one, it's a classic Fender retrofit:



Or this one, on the cheap side:

What about this one I found later:

Too cheap?

For the price I don't think you can go far wrong. It's only a lump of metal after all!

17mm spacing on that particular cheap one though - yours is probably 18/19mm stock.

Bought a 4 string cheap bridge from ebay a few years back, felt cheap, screws worked loose and i could feel sharp edges with my hand (costed around £10). Flogged it as soon as i had the opportunity and bought a Gotoh 201 for around £30. Best decision i ever made!

Go with the Badass V, you won't regret it. Had one on my old 5 string and use Badass II's on all my 4 strings. OH THE SUSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-





-AAAAIN!

Y'know, the one thing I don't need much of in my bass playing is sustain.
