It would be cheaper to buy a complete bridge from the US. Hamster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassicinstinct Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 That's what I thought - although isn't that price for a set of 4? Still cheaper to buy the whole thing from the States though Anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassicinstinct Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 You got that right!! I thought it was our transatlantic cousins who were supposed to be "in recession" ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassicinstinct Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 Just found an entire BadAss II on Ebay (USA, naturally!!) for £27.81 plus p&p of just under $11, so that would come at at something around £33 all in!! I can't believe that there isn't a way of finding a reaonably priced single saddle in the UK though. Or am I just being incurably optimistic??

bassicinstinct Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 I can source online from USA for about £12.50 incl P&P if I'm prepared to wait 2 - 3 weeks, or £25.00 for delivery within a week. Anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassicinstinct Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 Sod it!! I've ordered one online from the States for less than £12.50 with a 2-3 week delivery. Thanks for the input though. Everything crossed until it arrives now. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am talking about bridge [b]SADDLES[/b] though, not complete bridges. I got mine from here: [url="http://www.guitarpartsresource.com/bass_saddles.htm"]http://www.guitarpartsresource.com/bass_saddles.htm[/url] $13.99 each plus P&P which equates to just under £12.50 inclusive.
