I also had a Hammersmith Badass style aluminum bridge and took it off. I liked it a little better than the Hipshot, but I don’t dig what happens to the sound with them. I don’t want to say it weakens it, but I thought they were pretty polite sounding.@JimmyM had a Hipshot one; he took it off.
But people do seem to like those Babicz bridges, though I’ve never tried one.
