Hey Matt,
I don't believe Gibson sells T-Bird bridges as an aftermarket part. I'd recommend you talk to Scott Dasson (aka Godofthunder on most of the bass boards). He makes a very nice T-Bird bridge and is a good guy to boot. His email address is:

tbird66@rochester.rr.com

And you can check out his bridge here:

If you decide to get a hold of him tell him lefty Andrew says hi.

No problem. Scott can also steer you towards the proper aftermarket tailpiece if he isn't including that in the bridge and they have someone doing chrome covers for the T-Bird humbucker pickups too if you want to get a real retro look to the bass all around.

Well I'm gonna buy into the hype and probably do darkstars. I also haven't ruled out just a gibson 3 pt. bridge either. Just exploring options
