cheap bridges?

Sign in to disble this ad
I remember a few years ago, if you searched for bass bridges on ebay, you would find dozens of cheap-o Hipshot knock-off bridges. They were like, $15-19. Now I don't see them at all. Are those companies still around?

These bridges look like the ones from the Sung Il company .And I've just bought a few of them to try out .They seem well made and I THINK Warwick use them.

Here's the bridge I have on my Squier P. Drop-in replacement, fits perfectly without any extra drilling, has gobs of sustain.

Wilkinson Chrome WBBC Bass Bridge US Retrofit | eBay

I don't remember exactly how much I paid for it, but I'm pretty sure it was for even less than what they want here.
