  • Great product. It mellows out y

    It mellows out your tone a bit because of the brass slots, so if you don't want that ... avoid Adjustments to the string spacing is the easiest I've come across. Also, it's a bit heavy so it add some weight to the bass. Quite easy to install also.

  • Great improvement!

    My Squier Vintage Modified 5 string Precision Bass was transformed into a high end sounding/feeling instrument when I dropped this in. My bass was never quite right in terms of bridge placement, so I wasn't surprised when I had to plug the holes and fix the placement. It was still very easy to install. Effing great!!

  • Perfect fit

    The bridge was a perfect fit. No filling drilling required. The saddles adjust correctly for intonation. I can't speak for tone change as I added Bartolini pickups and an Audrere onboard preamp at the same time. But my bass now sounds and feels amazing.

  • Quality Product

    Product arrived ahead of schedule and well packaged. Initial opinion was the noticeable weight. Not Heavy but it was heavy in a good way. Swapped the bridge in a Squier CV 5 string bass. The install was flawless and an exact match to original bridge. A world of difference in sustain. Love it. Buy one. You will love it too.

  • Quality piece, drops straight in!

    Typical Hipshot quality- the adjustment screws all turn with silky precision. Terrific plating on mine (the chrome version). The bridge weighs over 10 ounces, vs 4 ounces for the stock bent-plate bridge. Rails secure the saddles so there's less play, and string spacing is more precise. I'm very happy with my purchase. Only hiccup was that I have a very heavy B string (D'Addario Chrome, 0.132 gauge), and I couldn't get it to intonate correctly until I shortened the intonation screw. Don't know if this was a quirk of my bass (Vintage Modified Precision V), or a bad string.

  • Beautiful Bridge

    A very good looking and well crafted bridge that allows for hight and width adjustments. The chrome is of very high quality makes a beautiful look to your guitar. I also love how smooth it is, no sharp edges or set screws to rake your hand on. Love it!!!

  • Great product great value.

    I modded my Squier Affinity Jazz Bass V with this gem. It fit perfectly, and it sounds great. Good looking, too.

  • Good Upgrade

    I bought this bridge to upgrade my Squire 5 string from nickle to chrome. I had previously purchased this bridge in the original nickle that the bass came with and I like the bridge. I just got tired of the constant cleaning of the nickle finish (and you can't get at every area) to remove the tarnish. Why the heck Squire thinks nickle is a good finish I have no idea. I am sure its because its cheaper. This bridge solved that problem. Though a nice bridge the cost could be a bit better then what I paid for it.

  • Hipshot 5 string bridge

    I put it on my Fender Squier J bass i did have to relocate it and drill new holes YouTube will show you how .I highly recommend it !the old Saddles were moving around on me when I played and I could not get the action low enough on the old one this took care of everything😁

  • Perfect drop in upgrade for Squiers

    Replacing the bent plate bridge on my Squier VM precision 5 is a noticeable improvement in tone and looks. Even a newbie can do it.
