51P bass replacement bridge: string thru body and bridge

[Chef]

Looking for a replacement replacement bridge that does both string thru body and bridge.
Don't really care if it's two saddle or four saddle.

Thanks for leads and links;

This one:



BTW, the picture shows 5 mounting screws but it only takes 3 screws to mount that bridge.

@mongo:
