DF Shortscale Posted October 20 Posted October 20 If I want to replace the saddles on a P bass with threaded ones, is it just a case of buying the threaded saddles and putting them on my existing bridge, or is it better to replace the whole bridge with a bridge that comes with threaded saddles pre-installed? The current bridge is just a standard USA Fender, but I know screw shapes / sizes can vary, some threaded saddles don't come with screws etc, and I'd like to make sure it all fits as it should. Quote
Reggaebass Posted October 20 Posted October 20 Yeah just change the saddles, I’ve done it on a few of my jazzes as I like the threaded ones, I got the fender ones a long time back maybe from allparts, they were quite expensive though, or maybe get a hosco bridge and just take the saddles off, like this 2 Quote
PaulThePlug Posted October 20 Posted October 20 Just swap the saddles - but make sure they are the correct thread - Fender USA likely Imperial, others Metric. I swapped out the Chrome for Brass on my HB50 Modder. 2 Quote
DF Shortscale Posted October 20 Author Posted October 20 Good to know, thanks. It's odd that the individual saddles cost more than some entire bridges, I've seen a Wilkinson one for about the same price as the one above, although a legit Fender one with slotted screw heads (instead of hex screws) is closer to £60.. 1 Quote
