Post by: Denis on November 22, 2014, 05:59:09 AM

Turns out I need some. Were they the same as on EB basses?

Thru '66, early '67 (pre Evertilt) will fit.  For your NR they should be chrome not nickel.   '66 is the year when they went to chrome bridge for EBs.

Mine has:
Chrome tail-piece and pickups
Nickel bridge, tuners, and covers

Pretty sure it is a '66, but the serial number was obliterated 40 years ago, and my memory for that far back is not good.

I have a late 65 EB0 with chrome bridge and hand rest, with nickel tuners.
