    I'd measure it and see if you can find anything similar, as it may be cheaper and easier to get a new Chinese-made bridge than try and track down saddles that fit the existing bridge base well. The string holes in the rear should give you the required string spacing.

    Yep, the bridge is black, what you saw was just light reflecting off it.


    I already checked the Stewmac website to see if they had any 6-string bass bridges in stock, no-luck, they only had 4 and 5 string bridges, I might try looking on the Realtone Music website to see what they have in stock, and then if I have no luck, I'll give eBay a try.

    Just tried Realtone Music, nope, they don't have any 6-string Bass bridges in stock at all, so, I'm going to give eBay a go.

    Realtone Music do stock Bass string saddles that look like they may fit the existing bridgeplate, but they don't have any in a black finish.


    A set of 6 of these might do the job, the holes for the intonation screws on the bridgeplate are all offset from the string-holes to one side.

    Just found this on eBay, the saddles might work fine with the original Bridgeplate:
