flame

[agooz20]

is that a ... no.... then a flame... or a no-flame?

It shouldn't hurt it. Just be sure the larger B string will fit the bridge. You'll probably want to do a setup because of the different string tension.

It would damage its pride...


No, it should be fine.

I think you may have a problem with your nut, the strings might pop out of the grooves easily...

Other way around. Even though it shouldn't happen.

totaly... i wa thinking the .125 wouldnt fit in the nut i have now... but its not gunna **** my neck over right? thats my main question... i just put some heavy dr highbeems there like... 50-110... and they sound beter... but it gets sloppy when i tune it down to b... c is do-able... but... its just a little limp...
as far as the bridge goes... whats a good replacement bridge for a standerd fender 4 string bridge? :)
thanks for the help guys

Gotoh 201, Badass 2. I'd go Gotoh.

will it make my sound much beter?

[nicatterberry]

Probably not that noticable. The bridge isn't worth changing unless your current one is unreliable.

[agooz20]

my current one isnt broken or anything... its just a squire... iv replaced the pickups with seymour duncan qarter pounders... the p and the J ... replaced the tone pots with fender's... the tuners are amazing so far they stay in tune great for some reson... hence... the only think i can think about replaceing now is the bridge to get a beter sound? or is there somthing els i can do... i just want to upgrade this thing to the most i can
