5 string vintage bridge

I'm having a 5 string jazz bass built and am looking for a vintage style brige, aka the old fender bent plate style. Not seeing tons of options...anyone aware of something? I've tried the hipshot and don't really love it...

It doesn't have the 'ping' of a bent plate, though it does intonate better. Does anyone make a 5 string bent plate

how about an older fender american deluxe V bridge? low-mass bent-plate, with grooved saddles and string-through.
