Jazz bass bridge saddles

Recommended Posts

The bridge saddles on my MIM Jazz often get lower when I play hard. It's not gradual, they just jump downwards to a lower position. This must be due to either the screws or the saddles (or both) having a bad thread, but what should I do?

Get new saddles and screws? And where would I get them? I've tried a little bit to search on the internet with no results.

Just get a new bridge? If I did this I would definitely get a better bridge, like maybe a Badass? People seem to like those? :)

Thanks!

For a new bridge, a Gotoh 201 would be less hassle than a Badass, no need to cut saddles. If you play as hard as you suggest, saddle cutting would be an absolute necessity on a Badass
