Help me locate an Ibanez ASB 140 tail piece!

Just got myself an used ASG-140 and noticed the quick change tail piece started pulling up with string tension, took it out and noticed it was partially cracked, didn't take much to break it. Just wondering where I can find one of this?

Plus Music Products came through, two business days delivery, no shipping charges. Part is slightly bigger than original but fits like a glove and does the job, all for less cash.

Now I need two knobs
Stop into the Ibanez club The Ibanez Club (Part 6) and hollow body club Hollowbody Bass Club! . Some one should be able to help.

I’m guessing that knobs might be a bit easier. The Ibanez website does have an archive page for parts they no longer have available, but the good thing is that they list part numbers which would at least help determine if the knobs on the ASB-140 are the same on the ASB-180, AGB-140, AGB-200, AGB-205, AGB-260, and AFB-200

The above is for the AGB-140 and they look the same as the ASB-140 knowbs though there's no guarantee they fit the same shaft size.

Thanks for all the kind words and replies. I thought this would be an easier part to get since it is shared by newer Ibanez basses, the original was around 3-4 month wait, I'll probably wind up getting the original anyway, I'm ocd when it comes to keeping it original. Ebay seller "Plus Music Products" is amazing, from the communication to how fast it was shipped to me.
B-Mac, I was just eyeing those knobs, I might go for them thanks.

I still recommend that you stop into the Ibanez club The Ibanez Club (Part 6) and hollow body club Hollowbody Bass Club! as there are others who know much more than I do about Ibanez. @hypercarrots comes to mind.
