Sign in to disble this ad
I have been watching with interest the rising prices or BadAss II bridges on Ebay. Having owned several over the years I find the recent excitment interesting. The going price seems to be close to $200 for the latest, with the multple string channels. I recently bought two Squier basses for less than $150 each and they both had the factory BAII's. I guess I had better sell the bridges seperatly.

If I would have been paying attention I should have pulled the bridge and sold it separately! I would have gotten almost double for the two separated as opposed to selling it as one unit! |

I think there are two models. The older had a single string channel (from the mfg, not cut) and the latest with the 3 channels.

Much as I love the BA line of bridges, I'll start looking for something else before I pay $200 for a bridge.

I got one recently on eBay new for $65. Crack smokers!

Temporarily out of stock - $110 | Still, that doesnt warrant a $200 price. There are other bridges that are much better.

Those were takeoffs from 2009 Fenders...
It sort of makes sense if normal retail channels (like Allparts) are out of stock....... |

The real question is why is supply pinched the way it is? There is something more to the story.

Rocky | OK, I missed it. Which Squiers came with BAII's ?
