Re: Bad Ass Bass Bridge added to a Jazz Bass

Yo Victa, whatsoever you do, remember this here. You can't hold no groove, If you ain't got no pocket !

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...
