Bass VI replacement bridge

Post by MKR » Wed Sep 22, 2021 9:52 am

I want to replace the stock bridge on my squier bass vi. It's one of the older ones that has the flimsy adjustable saddles. I see the newer CV models have a sort of staytrem type bridge.

Does anyone know where i can by a bridge like this or similar? not really in the position to spend straytrem money, so i am looking for less expensive options.

I've got this one my VM VI. Solid bridge with correct 9.5" radius.

True, the original vintage pieces had a larger intonation range and Staytrem also offers a wider variant for Bass VI. Squier uses the same width bridge on the VI as on other offsets. Some people complain about intonation issues therefore. For me, that bridge works just fine. I think it's a matter of strings, too.
