I love my P.

I love my P more than any bass I've ever played. Hey man, you might wanna think twice about taking that vintage bridge off, it's take some of that P-ness away. With a badass bridge, I noticed less MWAH.

Actually, it's the original bridge plate with Fender saddles.....which doesn't really work, since the original saddles were center mounted(string thru saddle design) and the fenders are offset.

I couldn't find any center mounted saddles for replacement?

Quadzilla sent the bass to me with a replacement Fender bridge plate and saddles......but it didn't allow for string thru. So I swapped bridge plates.

Since the BAIII allows for string thru, and is approx. the same size as the original bridge....it was a no brainer.

What's MWAH?

I like my Precision...can't get past the tone.

:confused:
 
Another P-love thread, cool! :hyper:

I started out with a P in the early '90s. Been through quite some basses since then and returned to the Precision couple of years ago.

I will never part with this 1975 P. Love it.

BADASSIII bridge installed.

It was easy, except the string thru holes didn't line up. :mad:

The string thru holes in the body were angled slightly....so I had to machine the BAIII to match. I just converted the ADG holes in the bridge to slots to allow for the angle.

PITA! for sure, but it sounds good, and has more sustain overall.

Pics to follow.
