Badass Bass Bridge II -- too good to be true?

Sign in to disble this ad
Could this be for real? I've never seem them for this price, check it out:

http://underbid.com/action/display/i...ku/BII-CH.html

Anyone ever heard of this company or bought anything from them?

I'd like to upgrade my bridge on my MIM Fender Jazz, and this looks like a much more reasonable price then I've seen elsewhere.

I'm gonna have to go ahead and say, "Yes, It is too good to be true."

Check out these reviews and then make your decision

I should add that I have been prowling around and it seems that nobody actually has the BAII in stock, anywhere.

Wow those are pretty bad reviews.

Yeah I haven't seen them either, I wonder if this is a bait and switch type of thing.

If somebody did have them, I bet they would cost way more than that.

Not if I get jacked on 5 gallons of coffee and drive at unsafe speeds all night and get there first you won't!

P.S. Is that a pic of Anton LaVey, the famous organ playing satanist? If it is: Neat-o!

Those reviews are horrible.
This place reminds me of one of those "work from home" late night infomercial type of businesses.

Since when did Baddass IIs become so scarce anyway? When I bought mine, I think I paid $45/$50 for it! That was quite awhile ago though

There's plenty, on ebay.

MF says they're discontinued.

I'm torn between selling the one on my bass right now for a fair profit over what I paid new, or waiting a wee bit longer and make a killing!


BTW, start droolin guys, it is still unslotted! Practically a virgin!
