Re: Bad Ass Bass Bridge added to a Jazz Bass

I agree completly Rob... If anyone has seen a stock Fender Music Master
or Mustang  bridge, you would know that they are pretty junky and not
that adjustable.  Even if you look at the Music Man's, Leo made a HUGE
improvment in regard to the bridge.

As far as BadASS goes, I don't know about all of them, but the
"original" one that I installed on the custom bass that I built from
complete scratch (sold off the $200 EMG Actives I had in there cause I
hardly played it after 7 months of building it, and threw in these
passive DiMarzio's I had lying around- which is why the routing looks
funky) is a plated Solid Zinc (used exclusivly by Steinburger and other
high-end basses) bridge:

The Badass II is much longer and would not have fit on my custom bass...
