Have a Celebrity Bass the someone replaced the bridge with a Gibson type. Needless to say it just doesnt work.
Does anyone know where I might find a replacement?

Hey ! Thank you, excellent Idea. Finding an original would be near impossible. Original tailpiece is intact.Are you wanting a bridge that works or one that Mosrite originally used? Here's one that will work if you still have the trapeze you can buy just the bridge itself, no need to buy the tailpiece.
4 String D Style Bass Bridge
@GregTXbass
Before you go dropping $240 on a bridge, something to consider.
String spacing !
The Hipshot @sissy kathy linked to comes in 18mm & 19mm versions.
Pretty sure the Celebrity was more like 15mm spacing.
You could probably use a floating mandolin bridge piece or a Hofner Violin bass bride like this.Yes , thank you for that. Ive been looking into that. Need proper spacing and height.

Stock spacing is 1 1/2" but you can slide the brass inserts to suit. Fit a bridge cover, many of the Mosrite basses had those, and no-one would know![]()
