OK, I got the bridge and just had to try it out, very easy to put on and it actually works very well. It came almost intonated already. The most apparent thing is that the E string sounds better, it's more even with the other strings and the middy sound of it isn't as loud as before and they all play in tune all the way up the neck. I didn't tighten it down too much. I'm not crazy about how it looks, the old one just looks right, this one is shiny chrome and is pretty big compared to the bar bridge, but it sounds and plays better, nice to be able to individually set the string heights too. I haven't played with the side placement yet on it although i just noticed that there is more of a space between the E and A than the A and D and even less between the D and the G on the nut. When my wife gets home next week I'll take a picture and post it. The bridge is fairly heavy but I don't notice it playing the bass, does nothing for the neck dive either. All in all it's a pretty big improvement in the playability department.
