TPTroll Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) Hi Does anyone know where I can get a decent but not crazy expensive 4 string through body bridge? Can't seem to find anything reasonable anywhere. Standard BBOT would be preference with brass saddles. Thanks Edited April 23, 2020 by TPTroll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 (edited) Fender made a high mass bridge (it isn't that beefy - a bit like a BBOT, but thicker metal and made of brass) that was suitable for through body stringing. I assume, as you want a BBOT replacement, that it is for a Fender. Have as look at the Custom Shop video on this page - https://www.bestbassgear.com/ebass/gear/hardware/bridge/you-tell-us-does-a-high-mass-bass-bridge-really-make-a-difference.html. I don't know whether it's still available. I bought one several years ago, not realising it was for through the body use and sold it on. They may still be available.

Lozz196 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Yep, Fender part no 0075124000 - they`re not cheap, but very good bridges. Plus as Dan says retain the original BBOT looks, rather than just looking like some huge lump of metal having been welded on (which some look like imo). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Dare Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 If it doesn't absolutely have to be through body, Gotoh make a nice BBOT type bridge that is nicer than the original and not expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
