Sign in to disble this ad
Hi
I'm looking to buy this bass, and most reviews i've read have said to replace the bridge. With what?
I know of no bridge that has one mounting hole, and if somebody knows od one, or a suitable replacement bridge, please let me know.
Thanks.

Josh | I've heard it's incredibly hard to intonate all the strings.

Question is - will anyone be able to hear the difference?? How often do you play up past the 12th fret? I seldom do, so it wouldn't matter to me.
If you think so, try the replacement saddles - or get a bridge that suits you and drill more holes. I'd stick with a classic, period-appropriate Fender bridge myownself.

I do play up above the 12th fret alot, so intonation is important.

I'd go with a badass bridge for better string to string balance and awesome sustain, you can always put a bridge cover over the bridge to give it a better vintage vibe that it already has. |

I know you can cover the standard Fender bridge - I'm not sure about the Badass. Visually (IMO) the Badass doesn't look right on that bass.
