Two-piece bridge: what can fit the bill?

Stealth · #1 06-07-2009, 01:33 PM

As some of you who lurk the Luthier's corner may have noticed, I've recently considered restoring an aged, 70s Eko bass for kicks. Why? Because it's unlike anything I have now, and I get it for free:

(now in clickety form, too!)

Anyway, unless I got my bass parts mixed up - this is a two-part bridge. Does anyone know of a brand that would replace it easily? Since the bass isn't at my place yet, I'll have to ask a friend who's the current owner to measure the exact width of each bridge part.

Any clues?

Rebumped for effort. Any takers?

You, sir, are awesome. That might be exactly that, I just have to remeasure the post spacing and this might be it.

Much obliged.

Wow, frankly I'm flattered.

Aaaand I think this is where the project hits a snag. The bridge bolt spacing is 6.9cm, the tailpiece bolt spacing is ~7.5cm. This is going to need either heavy modding or a new bridge altogether.
