So a few months back I bought a used Ibanez bass, I believe it's a GSR205. IN the past week or so the saddle for the 5th string has started unseating itself regularly. I was wondering if there's some simple fix to this? Also if not, would it make more sense to take it to a repair shop or to just buy a new bridge and install it, permitting it fits on the bass.

Ibanez 5 string bridge replacement

Define "unseating". As long as the the baseplate and anchors (ballend) aren't bent, we can get you fixed-up on the cheap.

Like it will get knocked out of where it's supposed to be sitting when I move the 5th string in any way.
Worthy of investigation but needs some clarification. So when you fret the 5th string, it pops out of the bridge saddle? This definitely needs pics.

Have you tried trimming the spring on the intonation screw and the intonation screw so they will have better travel and won't bind? the B string saddle on my 2011 SRA305 was unstable until I trimmed the screw and the string so it would intonate better
