Hoping that someone can help me as I've spent the last few nights attempting searches of TB and the internet instead of sleeping. The saddles on this bridge are a little bit different than any i've seen previously, as they appear to have a hex locking bolt that is unrelated to the intonation screws or the action screws. My guess is that once you get your intonation set, you can lock it down. Regardless, in my attempt to tweak the intonation, i ended up breaking the nut on the opposite end of the hex locking bolt. Yeah, not sure what i could have been thinking, but that's another discussion.
I'm having a tough time finding the exact specs of the bridge on this bass, kinda looks like the Gotoh 206, but i cant seem to find it in the 5 string variety. Below is a link to the 4 string version, so at least you can see this locking mechanism.

does anyone know where i might be able to find just the locking nut/bolt or an individual saddle?
wouldn't be a big deal if the nut wasn't a custom shape that i've yet to see. looks like a washer mounted on the bottom of a nut that already had a unique narrow shape. i tried super-gluing a washer of the same size to the custom nut but it could not hold the tension of the string.
im trying to avoid replacing the entire bridge for what surely is a 25 cent part at most.
used my 6 string tonight and looks like i will have to fri and sat too, but i hope to have the roscoe back in action by next weekends jobs cuz nothing sounds quite as good to me.
anybody?
