Five string tune-o-matic bridge?

Does anybody make 'em? I've done lots of searches, but turned up nothing yet. I'm itching to build a five-string Flying V, and it just wouldn't look right with a BadAss....

The intonation range on a bass is pretty wide so I don't think you'll find anything that closely resembles a traditional tune-o-matic (that's not to say it doesn't exist, I've just never seen an aftermarket version).

You could contact Hipshot about a custom 5-string version of their D-style bridge. Or you could go with a Warwick bridge/tailpiece: Sound of Wood - Warwick Brücke/Saitenhalter (5-Saiter)
