Good source for a string-through base Bass Bridge?

[Moos3h]

Hi chaps,

Don't want to spend a fortune, but I'd like to convert a P bass I have to string through body and so I'll need a new bridge.

It's a four string, Fender spacing and I'd like a bridge in Chrome.

Any thoughts on where to try?

So far I've looked at axesrus.com who don't seem to have much choice and also Bass Guitar Parts Direct who seemed very expensive!

Thanks a lot in advance,
James

If its the bent tin Fender type job, could just drill holes right through. There are a fair few ebay cheapies that seem solid enough that do through stringing.

The one that is on there at the moment is a sort of 'High Mass' jobby, I'm not sure i'll drill through there that easily - plus i'd be worried about leaving sharp edges.

Have tried ebay, but oddly not much about!
