Payson Bridge Conversion on a Dingwall Bass

[WHUFC BASS]

Has anybody done a Payson bridge conversion on a Chinese Dingwall bass? These bridges are standard fitment on the Canadian build basses but on the Chinese basses the individual saddles tend to be sharp and obtrusive for some playing styles.

 

Is it a straight swap? Is there any drilling required at all and was it worth the money? (they ain't cheap!)

It's been done on an NG3 for sale here:

As far as I'm aware from a Dingwall FB group, it's a straight swap. There was a gap over the grounding hole on earlier versions but I think @Bass Direct's current stock covers the hole. I've been very tempted myself.
