This is a brand new chrome bridge that was custom made for string thru option.. I had it made for a Sadowsky bass that I ended up selling.. I just received the bridge 2 weeks ago...I believe it's brass.. It connects with 4 screws...The hardware is included as well as the string ferrules.. Asking $110.00 which includes shipping in the US only.. Will add pics later...

This bridge was made for a Sadowsky bass.. It had to be a custom job with the string thru option for me to be able to use it on the Sadowsky I had... It can be used on any bass though... |

Luthier of Michael Wayne Instruments, Shop Manager ChromeDomeMusic | | Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Cincinnati OH | | I am looking for a 5 string A and I normally love to get parts from fellow bass players. But I am not seeing the value - a new one from Hipshot is $111 and they all have the string-thru option.
What is custom made about this bridge? "All style A bass bridges feature top load or thru the body stringing options."

For where the mounting screws were on the Sadowsky bridge, it would have not worked with the string thru option.. You can call Bill at Hipshot for a better explanation... I paid $125.00 for the bridge and $12.50 for the string ferrules plus shipping.. I basically have $140.00 into it.. You welcome to make an offer or just buy one on your own... |
