Right,got the bodies and necks. Necks are 44mm wide at the nut and about 52mm wide at the 12th fret. I'm saying this because i don't know if it will affect what bridge options i can have. The drill holes (done by GSP BASSES) for the bridge posts are, i think, 72mm apart on both bodies. Is this standard? I've asked Staytrem but all he could say was he only makes standard sizes. I've read all the arguments about Mastery/Staytrem, etc. I would guess i'd go with Staytrem but will it fit?
Might seem a stupid question but, does having a neck that's 44mm wide at the nut mean all the other measurements are going to be affected?
Am i making sense?
I'm sure it's obvious from the above that i lack a technical sensibility.

Does the fact the neck is 44mm at the nut, 52mm at the 12th fret indicate it will be have unusually wide string spacing by the time it reaches the bridge?
I think if you’re going for a wider spacing then Staytrem, amazing as they are might not be the best solution as I think they actually make a point about being narrower spaced than AVRI bridges
For a Kurt Cobain-inspired Tune-o-Matic bridge installation, the holes should be smaller, closer together and with an offset angle for intonation purposes.
AVRI ones seem around twice the price.
The Jap ones have a slightly wider or narrower string spacing (i think narrower but its been a while) and the tail piece sits higher meaning your strings clear the plate screws on both e strings.
Both are infinitely better than the squier system, unless massive improvement has happened in the last few years
