T Cee Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Hi all, I was lucky enough to have picked up a nearly new Squier CV50s P second hand recently, and it seems I need to replace some bridge parts. It has the standard 'threaded rod' barrel bridge. As fas as I can tell, the Allparts 'Vintage Style' should be a straight swap, but can't confirm if that's the case - I wondered if anyone else has attempted this repair? Alternatively, maybe I should look at other options? However, I'm not currently keen to fit a high mass or anything. Thanks in advance, good people of BC!

NancyJohnson Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 These bridges (humorously referred to as BBOT - bent bit of tin) are all going to be interchangeable - Allparts would be on a hiding to nothing making something that wouldn't fit. If you want to stick with this style of bridge, it would honestly be worthwhile putting a request for one in the wanted section; there's loads here that have swapped these out for different ones and have their old bridges sitting unloved in their parts boxes. Hell, if I have a spare one, I'd send it to you just to be shot of it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 What's wrong with the old one? Can't be too bad if it is nearly new. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I had a quick look and it looks like a standard fender BBOT bridge which you could replace the saddles or screws on, as above, what’s faulty with the one you have 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Cee Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 Thanks guys, really appreciate the support here. A couple of the grub screws have seized in the barrels and chewed up. I was careful, but I can only suspect this damage was already there - the action was stupidly high when I picked it up, but I put it down to not being set up right. I may have discovered why now! Never mind, you pays your money, etc. I had a look for replacement indentical saddles online, but I couldn't find any with grub screws. I was unsure whether other bridge saddles would fit the existing bridge plate, hence sticking with same as. Given what you guys have said though, I shall see what I can pick up! I don't mod my basses much, hence being a bit unsure about it all. Once again, really appreciate the help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bloke_zero Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 You clearly need to replace the whole thing with a bent bit of titanium at £134: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255036764665?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=7101533165274578&mkcid=2&itemid=255036764665&targetid=4585169652812023&device=c&mktype=&googleloc=&poi=&campaignid=412354547&mkgroupid=1305120599331881&rlsatarget=pla-4585169652812023&abcId=9300541&merchantid=87779&msclkid=8549a2544f661ea5312fc19b496a5845 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
