    Replacement Bridge for Fender Sting bass

    but the badass will change the tone of your bass + string grooves are shallow on the E that might not line up and cause your string to sit at an angle then the groove does not hold the string well and action might suffer. Are you sure you want to join the pimp my bass crowd. Tried a badass 111...
