Question Replacement bridge for SBMM JP series?

[jbailes]

Hello all,

I have both a JP100 and a JP70D. The bridges, in and of themselves, are fine. But I've noticed the tremolo bars are different sizes, not threaded at the insert point, and they drop out as easily as they drop in, among other nuisances that make playing with the tremolo bar not feasible. In my uneducated estimation, it appears that the stock bridge is like that of the 2 point tremolo bridge that you would find on a strat. I've looked at those, Wilkinson bridges, and from full contact hardware. Might anyone have some suggestions? Thanks.

Sorry if this seems like a stupid question but did you tighten the screw at the side of the tremolo slot on the bridge? It's a small screw and you can tighten it using a small allen key.
