There's a guy here on TB building a Jag with a Babicz bridge over in the Basses section of the forum. I believe the name of the thread is something like "Photoshop Request: Jaguar Content". It looks like a pretty serious piece of hardware.

I was looking at those for a build and they seem to be very well put together.

I was thinking about replacing the standard bridge on my Highway One Precision. I have a kinda hard touch and the saddles and springs tend to vibrate and rattle.
I'm just afraid that it will sound like a Badass bridge which I am not a fan of.

If you want the option of string spacing adjustment then this bridge isnt for you. I talked to jeff and other than the spacing dilemma, I would definately buy it!

Here's pics (not good quality...sorry) of this bridge on my Tony Franklin.

It really helps with the overtones, harmonics and sustain. Setup is almost infinite too......really critical for a fretless.

Please note I do have an affiliation with Full Contact. I wouldn't distribute it though, if I thought it didn't do as intended.

So it doesn't kill all the midrange like a Badass?

not at all. I tried it on many basses before I put one on my TF. It is very, very punchy.

I've tried these on many different Fenders and also a nice USA MTD 4 string.
