Hello bass brothers, I broke a string on my Warwick corvette on Saturday at a gig and went straight to my backup bass. I didn't realise til I got home that I had lost the small black saddle for it at the time. 

Does anyone have a spare they could help me out with please? Struggling to find any UK stock....

I had the same problem - a missing saddle, from the B string. 

 

My luthier suggested that I could buy one from ebay (link below), and, as @verb says, there are different sizes.

Perhaps sit the replacement saddle on a blob of blue-tak, to keep it from dropping out?

 

Edit: I too struggled to find a UK stockist, and could only find a Germany-based eBay seller.

Thanks for the messages but I escalated it to Warwick directly. Their UK importer found me stock at bass direct luckily.

 

The contact Mark was super helpful and sent me the pack of 2 narrow slot saddles without the crazy shipping charges from Germany.

 

Would recommend bass direct as first point of contact for any Warwick related assistance. 🙂

Nice one. I have a bass with the same saddle type, but the saddles were way too tall. IIRC I got a set from Thomann and got free shipping because I ordered other stuff. I'll fail away your bass direct solution though.
