Jono Bolton Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 (edited) I've got a bog-standard chrome Badass II for sale if anyone wants it? You know the drill, it's a solid, reliable, quality piece of kit, and with the exception of slots cut in the saddles for the strings, it's mint condition too. It's a great upgrade for anything with a traditional bent-tin style bridge, but the styling of the Badass is just not for me. I'm ordering a traditional style Wilkinson bridge with brass saddles just now after recommendation from BassBunny, so in a couple of days the Badass will off my Jazz and ready to go. I'm looking for [b]£35 inc. postage[/b] if anyone's interested. Cheers Jono Edit: Will try and get pics up if anyone needs them. Edited September 16, 2008 by jono b
deksawyer Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Would you swap for a Gotoh bridge, if you havn't already bought the Wilkinson..?? D.

Does it's job admirably on my Warmoth

Though badasses look so... well... badass!
Jono Bolton Posted September 16, 2008 Author Posted September 16, 2008 Sorry folks, Badass is sold pending payment. Even if I hadn't (provisionally) sold it, a swap for a Gotoh would definitely not be on the cards, I've done it before and felt a bit short changed, the two bridges are not exactly of equal standard, and I found that the Gotoh was not much improvement over the standard Fender one.
