What kind of sound are you trying to get, and are you planning on using distortion with it most of the time?

I cannot justify spending close to 200 dollars on a bridge for a 450 dollar guitar. The Blacktop's bridge is actually ok. I was just asking for alternatives. Thanks for the info guys. That bridge def seems rad. Just too steep for me at the moment.

I would say to just go with a regular Jag/Jazzy bridge, I never have problems with mine. Maybe the Mustang.

A Mustang Bridge will give about the same results as the BT's stock bridge, which in all honesty, I love. If this is what you're looking at, I wouldn't bother. You'd be trading one bridge for one that's roughly the same.
A normal JM bridge is an option, but expect the usual issues with it. Some buzzing, string jumps, etc. But, you'll get that kind of Jazzmaster character with it.
For the Mastery, I wouldn't bother. $200 for a bridge is insane. I don't care if it's $400 or $4000 guitar, spending $200 for a bridge is stupid.
In my honest opinion, I'd leave the stock bridge. That's what I'm doing with my BT Jazzy, and my second BT Jazzy when I get it. There's no reason to swap it out, so why fuck with something that isn't broken?

but what "sound" do you think a new bridge will give you? the materials that a bridge is constructed from plays a more important role in the tone of your guitar, than the style/type of bridge that is used. If anything, check out the different saddle materials that are available. If you switch to a mustang bridge, then you'll have the option of brass, steel/chrome, or wierd plastic polymer saddles, which will all give you very different tones. I dunno much about the Blacktop instruments, as I don't own one.
