Anyone know the center to center spacing?

I can't be certain but I suspect the bridge they use on the Bronco bass is the same basic stamping and the one I have of those measures exactly 2 3/4" center to center on the outer holes and the middle hole is exactly 1 3/8" from either.

Incidentally, my plan is to eventually use it as one would a Toronado bridge by modifying the saddle hole locations.

I was hoping I could do this and the bridge posts were spaced the same or at least close enough a little dremel work could make it fit.

I currently have both the Bronco bass and Toronado bridge.

Both are 2.75" center to center.

Bronco steel plate is thicker, but footprint and three (3) front-side mounting holes on each baseplate have the same center to center dimension.

Just PM me if you need any other dimensions or images.

Regards,

Mark

That would be fantastic.
