Beedster Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I've just found out that flatwound strings do not like string-through bridges (check post below on this forum for pics), and my Telebass really needs flatwounds. Anyone know where I can get a bridge that will definitely fit a Tele but is top-loading. Will a US deluxe bridge do the job (although I'm not sure they allow top-loading either), or even a Badass III? I really don't want to drill any more holes into this bass!

Rickster Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 (edited) You should be ok with an American Deluxe Bass Bridge, as it is a combined bridge that allows you to strings through the body as well as the bridge. I think it can also be used as a replacement for the Tele bridge.

Beedster Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 Cheers Rickster, looks like it will do the trick, although how Fender have the cheek to charge £30...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjohn Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I have an american deluxe bridge plate minus saddles somewhere. If you don't need the saddles I could dig it out and let you have it cheaper than £30! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deaver Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I'm going to be replacing the Hipshot Vintage bridge on my Precision. Can be seen on the last photo here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=31237&hl="]MIJ Precision[/url]. Let me know if that's the sort of thing your after.
