BadAss fit on Y-Man Jazz Bass?

[bassisten]

Hi there!


My Y-Man Guitar Workshop jazz bass has got a bridge with these dimensions (it's got 5 screw-holes):


The whole thing:
80mm x 60mm

From side to middle of first hole:
5mm

Between each hole:
10,75mm


- would this fit with a BadAss II Bridge?

Hi.....I am measuring a badass II i have around.....

center to center of each hole is 17mm
center to center of the two outside/edge holes is 70.5mm
width of bridge is 82mm
length is 63mm
the holes for the string spaces is at 17.5mm center to center


I hope this enough info to help. peace, John

I do a lot of Badass installs on Fenders and Squires, and especially the 5 string Jazz Basses, I often have to relocate the holes. I've seen like 5 different sets of holes, and that's from the same maker.

Most of the 4 strings are direct fit... but we don't know if your bass was a direct replacement.

But the string spacing should be fine. You have to cut your own slots in the bridge, so you can adjust the spacing a bit.

So try to see where it falls on the existing holes, and if it seems in the right location, you are all set. You just have to slot the saddles.

If it's not, then you need to measure to find the location of the bridge to be sure, and then measure to find the center line. Then mark the location of the new holes, and drill them.

They can be a bit tricky to install, but not too hard either.
