Sign in to disble this ad
Hey Guys,
So what do you think of the Leo Quan Badass II bass bridge? They seem to be discontinued and getting a little hard to come by. I just found and ordered one after a long search on the internet. I haven't received it yet, but everything I read seems to be good. I'm putting it on my 1985 all black fender jazz special. I wanted to see what you all think, and if you have any suggestions for installation.
Thanks!!  |

And, lottsa threads about them too. This search took me about 45 seconds.

| | | | the reason they are getting hard to find is becuase
unfortunatly Leon passed away. |

Good bridge! About a year ago, I replaced the Badass I that I had on my bass so I could let my high school students play on it and play it at church. The giant word "BADASS" on the bridge was pretty awesome when I was 19, but has lost a lot of its charm.  |
