rainbowreality Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 (edited) Hello my bass playing friends, Just wondering if anyone can suggest a bridge such as Gotoh to upgrade my Sire U5? Possibly with little or no modification (i.e extra drilling) would be really nice! Many thanks!

neepheid Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 What are you hoping to gain from changing the bridge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know I never thought about it much, I kinda assumed it would improve the instrument and maybe I was just getting carried away after changing the tuning heads (which have definitely made a difference). Having looked into more maybe it's not such a great idea after all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Hey, you do you. Me, I only change hardware if there's something operationally wrong with it, or as part of a colour change. Been through the modding for modding's sake phase of my passing life and found it to be little more than a money suck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Having said that, Albridge do a direct 4 screws in the corners replacement for Sire bridges iirc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think it probably is a modding for modding's sake if I'm being completely honest. Having set it up I've not had any problems with intonation or sustain. You can fall into a trap of thinking more expensive will mean better rather than if it's not broke.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
