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

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?

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 ;)

Thanks a lot :)

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...

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

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

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.

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.

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?

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 :/

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...

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

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.

Thanks for all your input guys! And good to hear about your down-tuned Geddy's :) The reason I want one is because of the tone (obviously) and because all my favorite bands have played them and they play in Drop A#.

Hi, all, Well, tonight I spontaneously sold my Schecter Diamond J to my friend which I am going to put towards my dream of owning a Fender Geddy Lee Jazz Bass :hyper: Here's the thing: I play in Drop A#. I have been playing in Drop A# for awhile and I use D'Addario XL Nickels...

Hey guys. I have a Schecter Diamond J bass (Schecter's version of a Jazz Bass) and I was thinking of swapping out the stock bridge for either a Gotoh or a Badass. However, the bridge I have now has 4 screws in the corners of the bridge (in a square shape) instead of the 5 screw, straight...

Thanks guys! I have to agree that the EQ settings do help a lot especially with the scooped sound of all 3 on full. The nice thing about my bass (Schecter Diamond-J) is that the jazz bass pickups are coil-tapped. I honestly think having both pickups run on full and having them single-coiled...

Just wondering what configuration you use for metal. I've tried both on full but I don't quite like the scooped sound. I always find myself turning the neck completely off and have the bridge and tone on full. What do you guys prefer? I'm always looking forward to trying new tones.

Ugh I just wish the Guitar Center around me had either one of these basses so I could try one :/

Hey guys. I'm new here and I was wondering which bass I should buy. I currently have a Schecter Stiletto Elite. I'm deciding on which bass to purchase. Both the Fender and Schecter are the same price. Here's what appeals to me for each: Fender: Jumbo Frets Dual humbuckers (come on :))...
