Steinberger headless bass saddles/claws?

[robocorpse]

I have just snapped one of those bloody string retainer claws on my XM2 bridge.
I know there were steel repros being made recently, but they seem to have dropped off the map, maybe Gibson being a*seholes about their copyright?
Does anyone have a claw they could let me have, or a trashed 80's Steinberger bridge to cannibalise?

Nobody?

Ebay will be your most convenient source if these guys don't have anything in stock.

If you are unsuccessful in your search , Graham Noden in denark street could make one up for you

Nice one, thanks for those leads.

Still looking... The USA ones are in stock, but $125 seems steep for a set. If I go for just the one, there will be a mismatch.
Someone on here must have a trashed bridge in their parts bin?

Don't know if this helps but a few years ago the thread stripped on one of the screw / claws on my Hohner B2A Steinberger Licensed Bridge leaving me a bit stuck.
Eventually got one from the Bass Centre workshop for £10. Guess that not an option now but maybe a call to Bass Gallery or similar ?

I have a headless bridge from a cheap German headless bass which is in bits - not a licensed copy so I'm not sure if it will work - does it look close enough??

Hi. Thanks for the offer but I don't believe the claws from this will fit the Steinberger bridges, although if I remember correctly they will fit the Hohner ones.
