Does anyone know of any good five string bridges with an 18mm spacing? Preferably a good solid brass/chromed one. The best option I have found so far is an ABM rollerbridge that looks really good, but it's $200! Any idea's?

Yes, and that would be a good choice except they are only in 19mm spacing.
:(

 

Umm....

 

Badass bridges come un-notched, you can make the spacing whatever you want.

Well that's true, but I like a bridge to have a straight line from the ball end to the saddle and out to the tuning peg as much as possible, not pinched in. Might be nit picking but it seems like a better way to go to me.

I agree. Look at these various sources - I would, but I have to get ready for a promising date. :thu:

I'd also look through all the manufacturers' sites.

Hipshots, both A's and B's, fivers in brass, available in assorted flavors including 17, 18, and 19 mm.

 

 

Actually I'm replacing an A bridge, and am going to stay away from Hipshot. It just didn't seem to work well on this bass for some reason.
