Need Help Bridges

shacklecrow · 05-18-2006, 04:10 PM

I need some bridges for the bass im making. Iv'e got almost everything on order and have made and wired it all, all i need is two bridges.
Im trying to get hold of two Hipshot A style bridges

but Allparts cant supply them even though they are the hipshot dealer for the UK.
So does anyone know where abouts i can get some in the UK, or online which ships to UK, im going to London in two weeks so can pick one up from denmark street but i'm not sure if they would have them.
Any Ideas?

Cheers guys, I've just ordered them from Stew Mac, they were £50 each plus customs and shipping (£25) so works out at £62.50 each and should be here in a week. i also bought some tru oil for the finish from ebay so this bass should be ready very soon.

Oh yeah i forgot about stu mac, there good.. How much do you have to pay for customs? does it vary thru what websites you use etc

its normally VAT (17.5%) ive found, my necks from warmoth charged 17.5% of total amount for customs,
so has most my orders from US, one way to get out of customs is to ask the seller to post it as 'no-commercial value' or 'gift' so you dont pay anything but not many companies if at all do this, only if you are buying something from someone you know e.g from a mxer.
