I had a similar issue trying to find a bridge of these specs for an old Univox HiFlier bass I intend to refurbish. While i was not familiar with the Schaller 2000, it basically seems to be the same as their BB 3530 which i purchased from http://www.dguitarparts.com/ .
I notice that Allparts sells this bridge for a whopping $150....not sure what they are smoking at allparts but i got the same bridge athttp://www.dguitarparts.com/ for about $75. They are a smaller store, have good prices and are nice folks to deal with. I had some credit card issues that required a few emails back and forth with a lady named Lynn to resolve, but she had patience and was a charm to deal with. Hope this helps |
You'll probably be very surprised to hear this, but dguitarparts got that bridge directly from Allparts, which is the importer for Schaller. That's an Allparts stock number.
Allparts is a wholesaler and importer. They sell retail as a courtesy to people who have no other option, and they sell at full retail so that they won't undercut their retail dealers. If you know your retailers, you can almost always get a hefty discount off full retail -- just like you did in this case.
