90s wilkinson bass bridge

No. IMO, they were functional but perfectly dreadful in terms of design. On a more positive note:

*Place an impassioned plea on the Carvin users' forum. The Wilkies were stock on 90's Carvins but frequently swapped out for better hardware. Somebody may have one stuck in a parts bin.

*If push comes to shove, the Babicz has an identical footprint and is an attractive alternative.

Ah, just do it now as that's really your best shot. I'm a member...would you like me to ask? Here's the Babicz on my Bugs Bunny:



Edit: I believe the model is the Wilkinson TW-4 and they show up occasionally on e-bay.

Rachel Dolezal was head of the Spokane NAACP, so no...have at it. I scanned the forum and saw a handful of references to the Wilkie TW-4 but none for sale. They've probably all been plundered / cannibalized for parts over the years. I was being gracious earlier: I hate the durn things and Wilkinson finally saw the error of their ways. Their current offerings appear to be the more conventional bent plate / cylindrical saddle style.

That looks an awful lot like a Kahler tremblo bridge, ahhh,,...no it doesn't:

I have one with black saddles. PM me if you're interested.

 

And I've got an all-black 5-string Wilkinson bridge that I'm selling, so...

 

We could make a 9 string bass.

 

Use the 5 string bridge on the 4 string bass. When one of the claws break, you'll have a spare on hand...just re-shuffle the strings, spacing be damned.

Any chance that this bridge is still available? If yes, please PM me.

Sorry, I sold it... though amazingly only just recently.
