Noisyjon Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 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?

ped Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 If you are after a 3 hole bridge, the Schaller 3D is much better IMO ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noisyjon Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) 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.

Lozz196 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 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.

Simples [/quote] 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
