nickhorne Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Does anyone know where to get spare saddles for a Leo Quan BadassII 4-string bridge in the UK? I've had the same (gold) one on an imbuya / graphite fretless for over 20 years, and the bridge is really settled on the body and sounding great, but I did cut the saddles slightly mis-spaced all those years ago, and I want to at least have the option of correcting it. I don't want to just remove the whole bridge and replace it. Many thanks Nick Horne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bridge is bloody old and the saddles have been cut (probably about 30 years ago), but of you can't get any elsewhere, it might provide you with some options.

Chris[/quote] Badass II's weren;t available 30 years ago-are you sure you haven't got the massive Badass 1 bridge? Just trying to make sure you don't inadvertently sell him the wrong saddles/bridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
