Mr Fudge Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 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. Mr F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffbyrne Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I have a 4 string Schaller 3D in chrome lying in the drawer. If you think it'd do, PM me. Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fudge Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 Thanks Geoff, I'll google one and have a look when I get some time tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyJ Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hit&Run Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
