    This is a chrome Badass II Bridge with the Full Saddles (the "Bob" saddles). It has never been installed, but has been taken off the original card. It is in pristine condition, but you will need to use your own screws from your existing bass.

    You know what it looks like, but I will post a pic later tonight or in the morning.

    Originally $55, now $50 shippped to the CONUS. To the UK or Canada, $50 plus actual shipping cost.

    Paypal only.

    Just to clarify - these are not the slotted saddles?

    Correct. These are the Full (non-slotted) saddles. These are the ones that you can groove to your own specifiations.

    Thanks for your interest.

    How do you groove the saddles?

    Some people use a very small triangular file found at most hardware stores.

    Some people get a small nick started, then use a round wound string to file out the groove.

    I have heard of some people just stringing up and letting the groove develop naturally.

    The manufacturer recommends having a tech file a groove for you based upon the specific size and type of string you use...in other words, custom grooved for you.

    Most people I know of have gone with either #1 or #4, but my recommendation would be #4, since I am not much of a 'tech' type guy. It is a quick job and typically not expensive. Plus, it gives you a custom fit, warm and woody.

    Thanks for your interest.
     
  7. you get a file and make a groove. You have to be careful not to make the groove too big.

    I know some people who got away with using the bridge without filing the saddles.

    Thanks for the link to that tutorial. It makes it sound pretty simple. I might be tempted to try that myself, and I'm all thumbs. It looked as though the author was using a fret dressing file, but I've seen common triangular files used, so long as they are very small.
