So I bought an unfinished body that was drilled for this odd bridge on eBay. Seller tells me it was made to order for someone who wanted it drilled for this unusual bridge. Since I was curious, so I asked the seller to find out what kind of bridge it was, and they point me to the person who originally ordered it. He happens to be selling one of the bridges on eBay. The problem seems to be that he doesn't actually know what it is. I was hoping someone could help me clarify: http://www.ebay.com/itm/300750939735?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1426.l2649 I hunted and hunted and found this other page that claims it is a "Players" Bass bridge but I have had no luck finding anything about it. http://www.12stringbass.net/master.htm?http://www.12stringbass.net/Bridges.htm Any insight would be appreciated.
I thought it was just a cheap bridge. I have a chrome 8 string bridge I got off of ebay for like $30 http://www.ebay.com/itm/CustomAx-Br...818?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item2a02823baa http://www.ebay.com/itm/Replacement...Accessories&hash=item3f1a770042#ht_714wt_1185 http://www.ebay.com/itm/High-qualit..._Accessories&hash=item3f1a80ffdd#ht_710wt_952
I know its not fancy, I was just trying to devine what it was a copy of, and what other bridges might share that same drilling pattern. Found out it is a knockoff of a Hipshot Trans Tone, as close as one could get w/out patent infringement. It also remarkably similar to a Stellah BB-02 as well. Mystery solved.
That bridge looks super familiar. I think it's because it's the one that goes on the Peavey Grind (a bass that I own). Zoom in on the picture below. http://peavey.com/products/instrume...dex.cfm/item/787/Grind(TM) Bass 4-String.html
After playing on a bass with that bridge for over a year, the only issue I've had with it was a bur on one of the saddles (very easily remedied with the right tool). It's probably a step up in quality over All Parts, Strukture, and a handful of other aftermarket bridges.
