5 string bridges that won't break the bank?

Sign in to disble this ad
Does anyone know of a source for low cost($40 or under) 5 string bridges? I'd like to build a fiver, but refuse to spend $60-$110 for a 5 string bridge. I'd prefer something that looked similar to the standard Fender style 4 string bridge(no hi-mass). Thanks, all.

You're going to build a five string bass and you think $60 is too much to pay? I'm curious to know your budget on this project.

Allparts it is. thanks, guys.
Torren61, my budget on this and pretty much every build I do is as cheaply as I can and still maintain acceptable quality. I'm not building boutique, and a simple bridge like the one listed will do the job just fine.
