Nothing fancy, but it does the trick.
I just did a Portugese tour with only this guitar....
2004 Fender CIJ Jazzmaster with Mustang bridge, Buzz Stop, SD SJM-2 PU's and upgraded pots & caps

Nice jazzy! I highly reccommend ditching the buzz stop and slapping a mastery on there but if you like the way it sounds maybe dont mess with a good thing! Tried a similar setup on mine but the mastery just slayed it!

The Mastery is on my list, but I always seem to find stuff with higher priority to spend my gear money....

Its worth noting that a mastery bridge does not do all the things that a buzz stop does and vice versa. A buzz-stop increases string angle, helping strings to stay put in the saddle but it does not address tuning issues of the floating bridge. Also it creates a tonal change because of the increased string angle. The Mastery fixes the saddle and floating bridge issue but it doesnt adjust string angle, which some people like for the tonal change.

Yep...changing the string angle basically just turns it into a strat, stiffer playing feel for sure. You also lose any extra resonance behind the bridge which is kind of the fun of the jazzmaster IMO.

I use the buzz stop to avoid my strings from jumping out of the saddles.
I'm not a subtle player and hit my strings really hard.

Re: Your #1 guitar: post a pic!
Yea, mastery will definitely solve that issue for ya! The other one is the staytrem bridge...looks more vintage (like a mustang bridge) than the mastery which I think is cool but I haven't tried one so I can't know for sure

^ I've got a Staytrem bridge on my Jazzy and really like it. Super easy to drop in and set up (easiest intonation ever) and no strings jumping out of saddles. Really good option, although I still want to try a Mastery one day.

I'm hoping to eventually throw a Mastery or a Staytrem on my Inter-Mark to replace the kinda crappy stock bridge.

Re: Your #1 guitar: post a pic!
The nice thing about a Mastery is that the posts fit snugly in the cups so the bridge doesnt float. I wish they'd just sell the posts though. I still like mustang bridges better.
