Headless bass hardware source

Does anyone out there know of a good headless bass bridge vendor? Have been scouring the internet for a 5 string headless bass system for under $400 for my next project and am having extreme difficulty. I saw some Steinberger replicas on ebay for cheap ($64 w/shipping), but they are all 4-string. Would really like to use the Hipshot system...not cheap either. I suppose I would be saving money on tuning machines, but I just have some guilt over spending $400+ in one shot on a bass for myself. I usually like to spread that money out over time...piece of wood here...pick ups from ebay for cheap etc..
