i have a feeling the OP is out of luck; MM will not sell their parts to anybody, even if they own a music man. even if a part breaks, the best you can get from them is an identical replacement (and they'll want the bad one back).

besides, i don't think they make black hardware anyway.

i stand corrected!

is that an old american-made sub?

the OP will probably have better luck getting his original bridge black-plated than trying to get MM to come off of one.

MM used black hardware with their current production Stealth finish. My Stealth Bongo from a couple of years ago has it. Bass Central has several stealth MMs for sale if you want to see more.

Edit: No, that's not a sub, just an SLO Stingray in a stealth finish.

The only place you're getting one is on the used market.
