...or maybe it's basic economics!

[Noisyjon]

I saw that too and it's crazy isn't it?
When I was after a one I gave up in the end and bought a Fender HMV bridge instead!

Anyone got any idea what has happened to Leo Quan's company?
I read he is very ill, etc but surely the company is still going - Any mileage in the rumour Fender bought them?

If you are after a 3 hole bridge, the Schaller 3D is much better IMO

That is quite [i]ridicolous[/i]

Could at least offer free postage at that price?

I'm not certain, but I think so... anyone else know?

I see it's not a string through jobbie so not as versatile for Fenders IMO. Shame though as it's a great looking unit.

I never found thru body stringing made any difference though to be honest - though possibly an argument for another thread!!

LOL - Yeah!

[ahpook]

can i just quietly mention that i've got a spare schaller 3d bridge ?

[wateroftyne]

There were rumours that Fender were buying him out... dunno if it's still on the cards.

[jezzaboy]

£105 for something that makes not a bit of differance! (Puts o Nike Airmax, runs in the direction of away).

Whoa, £105 for tha Badass. Although a very sturdy bit of kit, which I must admit did change the sound on my Precisions - tho after a while I found it not to my liking, so changed back to the Fender BBOT - I don`t know if I think they add a hundred quids worth of difference. Specially when you can change a pickup for half that and vastly change the sound of yr bass. Still, am sure they`ll remain popular, tho maybe Gotoh etc may see an increase in business.

Badass bridges, good on Jazzes, crap on Precisions. Simples

I found the best on a Precision was a Gotoh 201

That has been my experience - The precision with a BBOT has a punch to the attack which seems to get lost with a high mass bridge. I prefer the jazz with a badass II don't know why though maybe there less low end punch in the attack to start with. That could be bullhsit though

Nothing unpunchy bout my precision ba2 and SD 1/4lbs
