Question Specific Fender P-Bass Bridge Replacement?

Sign in to disble this ad
Does anyone know if a Fender P-Bass replacement bridge exists that is EXACTLY like this:

* three screw mounting
* chrome finish
* grooved saddles
* will work with BOTH through-body and top mounted stringing
* 4 strings

The Leo Quan Badass III almost does it, but only works with through-body stringing (plus hard to find one to purchase). I need a bridge where I can string both ways.

If you know of anything that might work, would love to hear about it and where I might be able to purchase one. Thanks!

This says it has the option for string-through.

BTW, Ann Arbor is awesome. My wife is trying to get into UofM for Anthropology. We visited last summer and I just didn't want to leave!

Thanks for the response from waaaaaay Up North! I did see this bridge, but no grooves on the saddles to allow side-to-side spacing adjustment.

You're right, Ann Arbor is a great town with lots of music and cool stuff to do, and we don't get nearly as much snow as the U.P. (that's a good thing!).

Thanks again!

all the newer american standard bridges do. (as well as the second-generation version that originally came on the american deluxes.)

The new Fender HMV (High Mass Vintage) is all of those things.
