Here's a video documenting my struggles of finding replacement saddles for a Thunderbird Bass Bridge! 😄🎸
When searching online for 'Thunderbird Bass Bridge Saddle/s' I was mostly met with other people asking the same question; 'Where can I get these?!'
Whilst this issue arose while I was fixing up this Bass for a friend, we decided to look at off brand Thunderbird Bridges as they were near enough the only result showing up. We figured we could either swap out one of the off brand saddles into the existing bridge, or replace the bridge altogether, so we would have a solution either way to get this Bass back up and running.
Hopefully this video may help someone who finds themselves in need of a replacement saddle for a Thunderbird Bridge! Although it may not be a genuine replacement part, it can certainly 'bridge' the gap in the meantime 🎸
Please feel free to share any tips, tricks or stories you may have about similar repairs and how you were able to overcome them 😄🛠

I would have liked to have been in the room when that bass E snapped. I have never seen a bass break a string, there must have been some mad popping and slapping going on!! Very rock and roll! Sorry for the lack of puns in this one. Marc

If it was anything like my experience my thought process was 'hmm this string feels weird...why's it so loose?...OHHH it's broken' 😂🎸 thankfully it was the last note of the set so I was able to pass it off as wild rock n roll shenanigans 🤘 I'm sure you'll be back in the 'saddle' for the next video! 😎

The neck-dive issue is solved by relocating the strap pin from the upper horn to the neck plate. Using a slide-resistant strap also helps.

Hey! 😄 SeattleSam commented about relocating the strap button to the neck plate and using a slide resistant strap, which is pretty solid advice! The neck dive is pretty common with this design 🙈 but it's a sweet bass. I hope you're enjoying yours! 😎🎸

Badass Bridges and Hipshot Bridges are the two names that I see come up often as alternatives for this style of Thunderbird bridge 🎸 I gotta say, I do like the look of them 😎 and definitely look a little easier to work with for a setup 😅

There may be a reason why this bridge design isn't more widely used 😂😵‍💫🎸 that's great to know about the Badass Bridge! Have you got one on your Thunderbird?

@@WeirdandWired I was gonna get one but they cost almost as much as I paid for the bass in the first place

Hipshot makes a great bridge for it too, as does Babicz.
