I have a Fender Bridge, it looks like the 1970's bridges, but the bridge plate is almost 1/8" of an inch thick. I think the bridge is from 1982, maybe 1983. I paid about $20 for it so I hope it is genuine.

I really need to see the bridge to know for sure, but what you are describing sounds like the type of bridge used on a USA made Fender Bullet bass.

The base plate is twice as thick as the 70's bridges with the same saddles but the bridge base is heavily chrome plated.
Let me know if that's what you have and please post a picture if possible.

I know two things, it isn't the heavier bridge they produced in 1982 on the standard series. It looks even heavier than that. The intonation screws seem shorter too.

I never saw a Bullet Bass before. But I bet you are correct. I can't do a picture, now or any tiime soon because my computer, camera, etc. are in a bit of a mess right now. Ok a large mess.
