Ordered DR Nickel Lo Riders along with my bridge hoping that will work out well for nice low action.

Babizc on a 1970 Fender P Bass

I put one on my 1970 P bass and use it with Tomastik flat wounds - great big creamy tone with lots a balls - thing is this is the best bridge I have used. Once set up it locks all the intonation and srting height in and does not vary. Great bridge - not as gnarly as a badassII but the other features give it the edge. Slots straight in no mods!

I have had one on my '62 reissue P for a few months now. Huge improvement in tone, body wood resonance, sustain, etc. It makes my bass sound more like it should, if that makes sense.

i just replaced my badass with one of these and i love the thing BUT the D and G strings dont quite sit between the pole pieces on the spb3 pu.this is on an aerodyne jazz by the way and the pu cavity is as you know shape cut so its not the pu thats moved. anyone else noticed this?

I may not be understanding you 100% but grey area, are you aware that the babicz bridges have models with a few different string spacings? If you received this bridge 2nd hand, the seller may have been wrong about the string spacing of your bridge. Besides that, you shouldn't get drastic volume differences with the pole pieces being off just a few millimeters.

hi etherealm.the one i have is for a fender j or p bass and i bought it new. it does not have an effect on the volume as it is about 2 mill off the G centre. i will check it out after the weekend and see whats amiss. i think i may have a coouple of mill on the p pickup to correct things there but theres no movement on the J pup. i will try and put a photo up. ps i got the bridge from thomanns.pps the E and A spacing is spot on. weird.
