This bridge - What is a replacement for it?

[NickCormier]

Theres a bass im potentially interested in buying, but it has a 17mm bridge (tho the neck, if I believe is 3" wide so you CAN support a 19mm bridge, waiting for confirmation)

I am not familiar with the bridge though, it looks like a retrofitted bridge anyways.. Anyone know what I could replace this with so I wouldnt have to drill any new holes, to get 19mm spacing??

cant quite make out that logo on the bridge =[

The fingerboard isn't wide enough to utilize 19mm spacing.

How do you know for sure without an actual measurement? I am like 99% sure that every Carvin BB model is 3", which is wide enough. Even if you choose the normal neck spacing, they dont make the bass itself smaller on that model.

0.25" is too small for anyone to "eye" it.

That's a Wilkinson bridge, I hated those things. So many sharp edges and the saddles were unstable on mine - the height adjustment screws were too close together.

Hipshot's A bridge is fully adjustable and comes in a variety of widths and screw spacings, maybe you'll find something that'll work.

They used to be somewhat narrowly spaced and it looks like a slightly older model.

I got confirmation from the guy its 76mm, which equals to like 2.95" or so, so I think if I could find an adjustable bridge that could get me like.. 18.5mm or so, that would work.

The guy also agreed to a price I am cool with, so I think i'll be picking this up and hoping I can figure out which bridge retrofits in.

You might try a Schaller roller bridge. The string spacing is adjustable so you can tailor it to the neck.
