    Do Badass II Bridges come pre-slotted from Fender?

    It doesn't look like it from some people's pictures but they are slotted on the Fender website's pictures.

    Can you fit a .130 into a Badass II bridge?

    I've heard the advice to drill it out before. But how does one go about doing that? Also, does the BAII come filed already?

    Can you fit a .130 into a Badass II bridge?

    Does anyone know if it's possible to fit a non-tapered .130 E string into a Badass II bridge? If you have a .130 and can try on a Badass at home, that would be greatly appreciated ;)

    Geddy Lee Jazz Bass questions.

    Hey, everyone, I'm getting a Geddy Lee Jazz pretty soon (my dream bass). However, I play in drop tunings (as low as Drop A#). My first question is: 1. After I file the nut to fit the heavier strings, can I use a standard Fender Jazz nut as a replacement if I ever want to set it back up to...

    Will a .130 gauge string fit through most 4-string bridges?

    So 60-80-105-130 in A# is less than 45-65-85-105 in standard?

    Will a .130 gauge string fit through most 4-string bridges?

    I've heard tapered strings make the string sound more twangy. Is that true?

    Will a .130 gauge string fit through most 4-string bridges?

    Great. I just found out Fender moved the Geddy's from Japan to Mexico a few years back :/ now I'm even more put off about getting one.

    Will a .130 gauge string fit through most 4-string bridges?

    So I guess the question should change to how much difference is the Geddy's neck compared to a regular Jazz bass? I've had a Squier Jazz and a Schecter Jazz bass all in A# with no problems before.

    Will a .130 gauge string fit through most 4-string bridges?

    No, I completely understand. One wouldn't think to pair the Geddy's neck with such heavy strings. However, the reason I'm interested in the Geddy is because many of the A# tuned bands I listen to have at one time or still use a Geddy as their main axe. I guess I'll stop at GC tomorrow and ask an...

    You can always replace the nut, right?

    Will a .130 gauge string fit through most 4-string bridges?

    I know the nut will have to have some filing done to it. I've done that before on my old Schecter. I'm just worried that I'll buy the Geddy, and then find out I can't fit a .130 through the bridge :/

    Will a .130 gauge string fit through most 4-string bridges?

    Hi, I play in Drop A# to play bands you've most definitely never heard of lol I'm thinking of getting a Geddy Lee Jazz as my next bass. Does a .130 gauge string fit through most E-string holes? And more specifically, will it fit through a BadAss II bridge? Any help would be appreciated...

    Squier Classic Vibe 60's j bass?

    I had one for a while. It's a great bass, good warm tone. The neck is really comfortable, as well.

    .130 string in a Badass II bridge?

    Hi, Does anyone know it it's possible to fit a .130 string through a Badass II bridge. I suppose you could drill it, though I'd prefer not to.
