Has Scott licensed this?

That same seller was selling nickel Tbird pickup covers a while back.

Are they available in black?

Still....NOBODY has made an exact replica of the original Bridge. I had ONE made. It was on the 1964 Thunderbird IV that UWE bought from Chicago Music Exchange...Uwe....if you look at it...you will notice that it does not have 3 holes at the base for the copper mutes....

Too late, it has the Dasson Technologies Badbird bridge now (like all my sixties TBs and the Embassy too)! Your bridge must be somewhere in my parts bin then ... 

I didn't buy it from CME though, but from that Dudepitter who traded basses for a while (Dave would always rant at his prices), name escapes me right now ... The only bass I ever bought from CME was my Embassy.

You'll get in trouble here!

Somewhat like the sign above that door in Dante's Inferno...?

[Bionic-Joe]

If you EVER want to remove that bridge from your parts Bin, I may just be inspired to build another bass....however...not until I find a vintage 1960's Thunderbird bridge...that's how I roll.....

I fail to see what's so great about that bridge, string to saddle pressure is ony so-so ... It's better than an evertilt at least.

 Ha! I was just going to post this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Thunderbird-Bass-Bridge-and-Tailpiece-Set-1963-1969-Chrome-/121479626823?pt=Guitar_Accessories&hash=item1c48c00047 Well that's it I'm out, I can't compete with that.

Well, that is sad news. So before you go out, if you have one in stock, I will buy  one of your bridges.

Are you talking about Kebo? He's okay, I just disagreed with him when we were discussing whether or not eBay listings were overpriced or not. But he's in the business and he was trying to get the most for his own merchandise. That's understandable.

[Bionic-Joe]

Ok...I think Scott Silver sold it to Kevin Borden and he sold it to Uwe.... Look in your parts bin....that bridge does not have 3 hoiles in it for the mutes...

[uwe]

I believe you!
