BassAdder60 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Where can I buy the grooved vintage bridge saddles from ? Ideally with screws Looking to change my Hismass bridges back to standard plate type but upgrading the saddles instead of the one slot kind. I have the bridges from the player series but really like the vintage bridge as found on the Vintera so converting would be preferred with buying just the four saddles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 They are my favourite saddles, I got mine from allparts quite a while back, I’m not sure how much the postage is 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony_m Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 When I was after some threaded saddles for my 60s Reissue Jazz, I couldn't find any individual items anywhere so ended up getting a complete Wilkinson bridge off the Bay of e, and swopped the saddles from that onto my existing bridge (coincidentally also a Wilkinson). The threaded saddles are brass, not chrome, but are significantly paler / less brass-coloured than the slotted brass saddles they replaced. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/392704245582 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Bolton Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 I've got one of these on my P Bass. It's a full bridge unit, rather than individual saddles: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/323897704558?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=2CqW-pdbQIe&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=UbetCfLcTBW&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As decent as a BBOT bridge can be, yes. Hosco stuff is generally pretty well made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
