I recently purchased a 2005 MIM Jazz Bass V. I've never liked the Fender "bent-metal" bridges. Does anybody have any experience with wither the BadAss V or the Gotoh 205B-5/C? I'm specifically interested in achieving good sustain, better looks, and ease of installation (easy drop-in vs. drilling/routing). The BadAss is plenty more expensive, but not so much that if it's appreciably better I wouldn't pay the difference.

Also, if there are any replacement bridges, I've not considered...I'm all ears. Thanks, E207

Everyone that replaces the bridge seems to go for the Badass bridges... I wud go for one of them... I have a Geddy Lee Jazz Bass that has a badass bridge... great bridge.. a lot more sustain and tone!!

Thanks! I have BadAss bridges on most of my Fenders (except my Precision, which sports the Gotoh), and I do like them. I don't know if you missed it or not, but I was referring to a Jazz Bass V - a five-string. There are tons more four string replacement bridges than there are for fivers.
