fretmeister Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Other than the Hipshot B Style are there any other bridges with slot string load and use the same screw holes as a regular Fender BBOT bridge? I’m needing to change strings and tunings a lot for a recording project and I’d like to make it easier and save the strings more easily too. ta.

TheGreek Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I think these are a straight swap https://www.dv247.com/en_GB/GBP/Fender-HiMass-4-String-Bass-Bridge-Brass-Saddles-/art-BAS0007634-000?campaign=PSM_UK/kelkoo&ProgramUUID=MrLAqJarZEUAAAFobL.P7Dz7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dapper Bandit Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Gotoh 404 is 5 hole, as I recall. May not be an exact Fender fit (although I believe it is) but it is my favourite bridge. Slot loading and the saddles are very comfy for palm muting! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted October 6, 2020 Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 Might just bite the bullet and get a Hipshot B style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
