is a Badass Bridge II really worth it?

[ilikeindie]

I've been interested in it for quite a while and I was wondering
if it really made a difference.


thanks. (:

[Valerus]

YES.

[MickMichaels]

I say yes. Heeps more sustain.

[SweBass]

I just installed one on my main jazz bass the other day. Big improvement.

Personally, I don't like the BAII but you should try one and decide for yourself.

[FL Knifemaker]

I didn't really notice any increase in sustain on any of the 3 I installed. What I appreciate is the overall precision of the the bridge. String adjustmets can be dialed in perfectly. The un cut saddles alow me to put the strings at the exact spacing I want also.

I won't gig a bass without one.

[meev992]

It looks cool, the precision of adjustments that can be made, etc.

It's kind of like a badge of honor to have one on your bass

[rick4001s]

yes. got them on 4 of my 5 SX basses. more clarity, volume, presence & sustain

[meev992]

a bent piece of metal as a bridge doesn't sit well with me, I'd rather have something substantial and machined with precision.

[Brendan]

Not really, no. They're higher quality than most bent plate bridges, but I don't think they offer any tonal improvement.

more mass = more sustain

I beleive

[pjmuck]

I've owned a few over the years and I have them on my two Js. The ones I bought were both pre-cut with saddle grooves, however (both are about 15 years old). Does Badass offer the option of pre-cut or uncut grooves?

[steve21]

Now they do, pjmuck.

I personally think they're cool. And a steal used.

[meev992]

the coolness factor alone should warrant the purchase.

[cybersnyder]

Marcus and Geddy use one. Just a small endorsement.

Look at the name. Just having it makes you badass.

+100

it gives you an excuse to drop the word badass in a casual conversation about gear.
