This may work and I don't think it is a bridge too far. :)

I mean, if a Genuine RIC bridge is unavailable and if the alternative is a copy of some sort, then maybe this could be considered. If it is totally inappropriate, re-read my opening statement. :)
Hi, yes, I’m aware of the Babicz, but I have several issues with it, not the least that I use super low action, and given that on earlier basses the fingerboard already sits lower than on later ones, and I’ve already heard about problems getting the action low enough even on later basses, I don’t think it’s for me. But thanks anyway!
