Anyone here handy with a lathe?

[alembic1989]

Just bought a vintage bass, and I need 2 bridge posts made , as the current ones have been bodged around with....looks like something a guy with a lathe could make...anyone no anyone that might help. Each post has 2 different threaded sections.

There must be a talented machinist on the firm surely?

Very little...basically 2 brass posts that are threaded...easy for a machinist.
