What makes it so expensive? I don't understand. My rockbass bridge looks meatier then that thing. Whats the deal?

funkycoldmedina · #3 03-31-2011, 08:55 PM

$200+!! What?!

And "will do wonders for your tone"

Sigh... and someone will buy it just like everything

Flaked Beans · #4 03-31-2011, 08:55 PM

MattyH · #5 03-31-2011, 08:55 PM

Jeesh

tjh · #6 03-31-2011, 08:57 PM

3 bidders after $71 ...

Really? This is the ridiculous auction you pick? Man, eBay is stupid these days. I can find 1000 auctions for parts, pickups, bodies, that are way more stupid. I can't understand why people even bother.

This thread is just wrong on so many levels.

For every saddle, there's an ass to sit in it.

That's ebay seller "reliablefender". I think they are crooks. They buy Fenders, disassemble them (any idiot could) and sell the parts for a RIDICULOUS markup. SHAME on anyone foolish enough to pay those prices! MAN, this REALLY rubs me wrong!

i guarantee the bidder has less than 3 positive feedbacks and joined in the last year. an unpaid items case will be field and the member will be banned.

that's why Ebay sucks.

John Wentzien · #12 03-31-2011, 09:05 PM

B-B-B-But...it says "BADASS" on it!

Leo Quan has this Badass II Bass bridge in chrome listed at $78 NEW! Not some part stripped off an instrument then pushed off as "new". You know someone out there is bumping these bids up to sucker in the unsuspecting..like the web for the fly.
Good 'ol feliablefender. STAY AWAY from these guys!

DTF · #15 03-31-2011, 09:21 PM

Ive gotten some good deals from them auction wise , Id never buy anything buy it now from them, is there a shortage of badass bridges or something?

loinmute · #16 03-31-2011, 09:22 PM

Yea they are trying to catch some 13 y.o kid on an impulse and of course he knows NO better. All he knows is he saw some concert on paladia that showed Flea using a BA II on one of his guitars. I am surprised that this scammer is not claiming that Leo Quan is no longer in productin....I ve seen that one a few too many.

ghostdog93 · #17 03-31-2011, 09:24 PM

Allparts, The Music Zoo and Guitar Parts Resource seem to be currently out of stock of the BAII.

It seems Leo Quan can't keep up with demand, and there are a few enterprising fellows out there who are willing to step in and take advantage of the situation. You can call them crooks, but if you can get someone to willingly pay over twice the retail value for an item...I mean, who's the stupid one?

A-Step-Towards · #18 03-31-2011, 09:26 PM

I just had an unslotted one on ther eand only got 99$ for it .

I had a slotted one that went for 140$.

seungkoo · #19 03-31-2011, 09:33 PM

I bought a brand new one from a local store for 70bux... I shoiluld go back and buy the rest. They had like 6 available.

SJan3 · #20 03-31-2011, 09:36 PM

Like I said, CROOKS! And, you're correct that the fool is the one who pays the $$$ but let's try and warn our friends here before someone else makes that mistake. Would you let your friend walk into the quicksand??
