Bass bridge. Top loader to replace through string bridge

[Mr Fudge]

I replaced a Jazz bridge with a Gotoh retrofit bridge, A Baddass type but a lot less money. I was really happy with the results a finally got round to buying one for my other Jazz.

I made a school boy error because my other Jazz is a through string and of course this new bridge has nothing to screw to because there are through body holes there.

A mate has bought the bridge, so no probs there and said you can get through string top loading replacement bridges. I have had a little look on the bay but didn't see anything that said it did this.

advice gratefully appreciated, as always.

I have a 4 string Schaller 3D in chrome lying in the drawer. If you think it'd do, PM me.

Thanks Geoff, I'll google one and have a look when I get some time tonight.

How about a Fender HMV bridge instead?
It may not be a direct drop-in replacement in terms of mounting screw placement, I'm not sure on that. But it's a nice, solid bridge that accommodates stringing both through-body and through-bridge. And reasonably affordable too.

I think the badass 3 bridges can take through body or top loading strings.

Hipshot make at least one bridge that'll do top or through. I think it's called a transtone.
