I'm pretty sure you can order a custom bridge from Alembic, or even send in the bass to have it made exactly to measure.

Rusty the  scoob__ That HIPSHOOT bridge that JOEY mentions in his post #1349 and I mentioned in my post #643  is also available in a 2 point Bridge;______ Maybe that   will do it ?  
 
    @ JOEY;______ your post in must reads regarding SET UPS  is really excellent!

You're right, there are two different Hipshot Supertones!  I wish I had known about this sooner.

Both are two-point and look identical... I wonder which one I have.  Hmmm... the model numbers are 5G410 vs. 5G400.  5G410 is the one that fits 1967-1973 and according to the eBay auction listing that is the one that I bought.  My bass is supposedly either a 1969 or 1970, and it almost fits but not quite.
 
Regardless, I'm a little concerned that even if it does fit, it won't sound right.  I'd really prefer an alembic-style with tailpiece.

In that case for the sake of correctness to the intent of your project ; as adriaan said in his post #2386  Alembic might be able to accommodate you . I think ultimately that might be a good decision if possible. Custom ; ALEMBIC BRIDGE AND TAILPIECE !

I like this plan.  Heeeeeey, Mica!?  How would Alembic feel about making me a bridge?

I know that Charles (crgaston) had Michael Dolan build him a custom Alembic style tailpiece and bridge for a hollowbody that he modified.
 
Found the thread... this might be an interesting read:
