spare badass II saddles in uk

[nickhorne]

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

Allparts have chrome ones, maybe they can source you gold ones. See the bottom of this page:

THANK YOU NEEP! I just looked at Allparts today and missed that completely. Duh! I'll certainly call them.

I have a silver Badass with, for reasons I cannot begin to guess, gold saddles. 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.

Oh, and given that a set of Badass saddles will cost you £40, buying my bridge for £20 is the cheaper option!

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
