Hello, I wanted to either look for or make a 2 piece bridge (you know like on a les paul) that has an end peice (not the part with the saddles) that looks like the one on a violin...

I know there are ones similar to that design on a couple of the italia basses now, I just want to know where i could pick something like that up..

thanks!

If you're looking for something like what's on a Les Paul, I've seen some 4 and 5 string tuneomatics but I have no idea where one would find them.

You could go for a Hofner violin bass (expensive) floating bridge with tailpiece similar to a violin.... Jay Turser makes hofner replica maybe you could try and get a hand on some hardware....

if you can't find any Jay Turser....... i suggest, if your bank account permit that you visit North Coast Music for genuine Hofner replacement parts... again, you'll need money....

EDIT- Or Maybe you could call jay turser themselves and have them answer you....

hmm.... it would be 130 some odd dollars for the setup... or if i could just find a nice piece of walnut.... and carve it...

its really not that important that the tail piece be like, to any sort of exact mesurement is it? just the saddles on the bridge right?

cause it would be quite easy to do then... well, not that easy, but not so expensive...
