Hayman 40/40 bridge replacement

[daspliffmasta]

Just ordered one of these and based on the pictures I think I may need to replace the bridge. Figured I'd start planning for the event that I do have to do that and was wondering if anyone knew the measurements, or a bridge that fits in these basses?

Some years ago I had one that need a new bridge and, back then, it was still possible to get a NOS bridge.  I don't know if it still is but there is a forum dedicated to Shergold guitars and the guys on there would know for certain - it was one of them I bought it from, in fact.

Good luck with joining the forum. I registered back in March and I only got my approval email (which allows me to actually post on there) last week!

Dunno if it's still about, but there was a Shergold bass base plate (no saddles) on ebay a while back; it's always worth a check anyway...

Interesting - a 4040 was my first ever bass back in the 70s. I don't remember much about it though.
