Large Bass Bridge

[Hit&Run]

Does anyone know of a 4 sting bass bridge with a massive bassplate? I've got a bass with one of these on: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GOLD-BRIDGE-FOR-ELECTRIC-4-STRINGS-BASS-GUITAR_W0QQitemZ160144876111QQihZ006QQcategoryZ42455QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdViewItem"]Big Bridge[/url]. Apparently it's size is 105mm length x 83mm width.

And as you can see:[list]
[*] 1) It's massive.
[*] 2) The screwholes are miles apart, right on the outer edges.
[/list]Do Traben do parts?

Does anyone make custom bridges?

This is the bridge that came on the bass, and I was thinking about upgrading it as it's pretty flimsy (unlike the bass it's on, which is pretty nice).

So, do you know of any bridge that will cover up the holes left in the wood from this behmoth? Through body stringing would be nice as well, but hey; one thing at a time.

Thanks in advance.

Looks like a MusicMan Stingray copy bridge to me! So try getting a REAL Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray bridge to suit & it should all be apples!

AHHH I see!!!! What about allparts or Warmoth???? Wonder why EB are fussy about this. I'm sure MANY EB bridges ..err.. break??????? ;-)

AFAIK it's because all bridges have serial numbers on them, which the owner can use to order whatever parts he/she wants from EB.

I did consider a real deal MM bridge, but they do appear to be very rare.

I've checked both out; no joy I'm afraid. I can't believe something this basic hasn't been addressed before.

Back to the drawing board I guess.

Maybe you could email them about the exact dimensions.
