Body Thru Bridges??

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm on an adventure to build some electric guitars and basses. I'm slightly obsessed with string thru bodies like a tele or some of the early (pre tremelo) strats. I came across one of my drummer's basses to fix and it was the most incredible bridge I'd ever seen. It was off a Hondo P-bass, and the bass responded suprisingly well. The body was ply (shite), the pickups sucked, but the neck and the bridge was great!!! I'm looking for some other basses/bridges which are body thru bridges. The only body thru bridge that I am finding online is one of the Bad Ass bridges, but I'd like some more options for my instruments. If ANYONE has found a supplier that sells something else I am all ears.

The photos are a Hondo bridge (just like the one I'm excited about), Music Man bridge, and a 2003 Fender Rosco Beck bass bridge. I hear that some of the Epi Accu-Basses have some string thru bridges, but I can't even find a supplier to replace one of those!!!

P.S. ...... it's my first thread... I like this place.

Fender current production bridge, American Standard bridge, and American Standard Deluxe bridge.

Hipshot has a couple. Also check out the Allparts.com or Bass Parts Resource online catalogs.
