Detail 01
Vintage-style bent-plate design
Thin stamped plate rather than a machined block. Lighter, and the classic look on early P and J basses.

What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Fits both P Bass and J Bass
Shares the standard Fender four-string footprint, so one part covers both models on standard-spec bodies.
Detail 03
Saddle height and intonation screws
Action and intonation are adjustable at the bridge, so a setup is expected after installation.
Detail 04
Through-body plate mounting
Bolts to the body top through the existing screw holes. Alignment depends on your bass matching the stock pattern.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your current bridge screw spacing before ordering to confirm the holes line up
- 02Strings, ferrules and mounting screws may need to be sourced separately
- 03Plan on a full setup after install — intonation and action will shift
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my Squier bass?
It fits basses built to standard Fender four-string bridge spacing. Squier models vary, so measure your existing screw hole pattern and string spacing against the bridge before buying.
02Do I need to drill new holes?
Not if your bass uses the same stock five-screw vintage pattern. If it currently has a different bridge, expect to drill and plug holes.
03Does this change the tone?
A bent-plate bridge is lighter than a high-mass block. Swapping from a heavy aftermarket bridge back to this generally means a slightly looser, more vintage response.
04Is this a four-string bridge?
Yes. It is built for standard four-string P and J basses. It will not work for five- or six-string instruments.
