tommorichards Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) Im after making an SB-1 bass clone, and im thinking of buying the G&L saddle lock bridge, and spraying it black. Basically as the picture below. Im just wondering if anyone knew how the old bridges were black in the first place? I wish there was a trove of info about the old G&L's in the same way as there is flyguitars.com for gibson, and that site that i cant remember the name of for musicman. Any info on this, as well as the scratch plates they used would be appreciated. Edited May 26, 2014 by tommorichards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Try the basses by leo forum, plenty of knowledge there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary mac Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Will be interested to see how this turns out. The pickguards are available from an American site, can't recall who it is at the mo but I'm sure you can google it up. They are expensive though. I got the Bass Doc to make a single ply black replacement for my SB1. Do you plan on using the genuine G&L pups? They are most certainly worth the cost and are very, very punchy.
