does anyone know where I can find chrome bridges for my btb?

My local Music & Arts store (an official Ibanez parts dealer) went to Ibanez who had to ship a spare BTB676 bridge from Japan. It took 3-4 weeks to arrive. I also ordered a couple cavity plates as well to replace ones that had been scratched or modded (by me).

Ibanez has some parts supply places in the US that might have your part or might not. I went through the one in Horsham PA to get a jack for a GSR200. Unfortunately the part they sent was used - it still had wires soldered to it - so I got a refund. Subsequently, I discovered the GSR200 jack is easy to get OTC for less so I didn't request another one through Ibanez.
 
Here is a shot of my BTB676. I freakin' love this bass!

It was quite a jump from my Ibby SR506! This bass is gigantic compared to that one, but now I wouldn't have it any other way. I love the low B on this bass and all others that I've tried have felt weak by comparison.

Has anyone tried to put a set of Dual Coils and/or Big Singles in their BTB676? I've been thinking about doing that to mine.

I play a sr755 and am looking at a BTB775. How did you find the difference in feel of the two necks and overall size of the guitar.
