Through body stringing bridge

[TPTroll]

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

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.

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).

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.
