micahbell Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I am getting a Warmoth P-Bass, and I was pretty decided on the Badass II bridge based on a couple reviews, but in all honestly I have check out the competition too much/at all. So, I would like to get a couple opinions on what the best bridge is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass_ferret Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Badass is the de-facto replacement bridge cos it fits the fender holes. There are alternatives from Scaller (fitted to one of my GB's) and Hipshot (fitted to my other GB), plus Gotoh and ABM and more I am sure. You never see a custom bass builder fitting a Badass?

The bridge being a direct replacement isn't an issue, as I am getting the body built to what ever specs I want, I can get them to drill for any type of bridge.

Mr. Foxen Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I've seen a sweet custom with one, built to be a P style: www.gwbasses.com bigging him up because he always has time to give me guidance on mods and stuff I'm working on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I like Schallers - nice roller saddles which you can move sideways by spinning them, and infinately adjustable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhuk Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Bunch of bridge "reviews" here: [url="http://www.bgra.net/2004/index.php?content=feature&page=parts-acc"]http://www.bgra.net/2004/index.php?content...;page=parts-acc[/url] and I think there're a few more on there somewhere.

micahbell Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 Thanks for the post so far. Has anybody tried using a Gotoh bridge? Also, do shallers use stock holes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the online catalogs for allparts etc they normally say if its a direct replacement. I know Badass are which is why they are the favourite Fender upgrade bridge and Fender use them as well cos it fits the holes they are tooled up for.
