[/quote] Hello mate Depends what you're after - greater sustain or attack perhaps - but I'd generally go from the bridge as opposed to through-body with flats as some flats tend to unwind a little if the angle is too steep at the saddle. I doubt you'd really notice a huge amount of difference sound-wise anyway, TI's have sounded pretty much the same from a Badass or from a Fender bridge in my experience (bloody lovely either way). You might get a slightly stiffer string strung through but then you'd be off-setting one of the great characteristics of TIs, their flexibility.
