Question; Bridge cover with a Badass II

[Kye]

Got a Fender P-Bass with a badass fitted on it, wondering would I be able to fit a bridge cover on it?

[OutToPlayJazz]

The standard size Fender bridge cover doesn't fit over the huge Badass II - But I'm sure someone somewhere must have realised this and makes a bigger one. No? Ah well

Bummer, love the look of the bridge cover, but hate the peice of tin that comes with the fenders, stick with the badass!

There are other bridges.

A guy on eBay sells Jazz bridge covers to fit over a Badass but a Precision cover would need to be disproportionally large to do the job. If you move it back about 3mm, a traditional Precision bridge cover will however fit over most Gotoh fender-fit bridges, and in most respects, they're just as good as a Badass.

You are of course aware of Beedster's Law: Badass bridge on Precision = blonde wig on Kylie. OK but entirely unnecessary, and by no means an improvement on the original configuration.

Purely out of interest did it fit the original Badass bridges in the 90s?

No ('70s BTW)

Ah, ok - it was the 90s when I first remember hearing of them as they got raved about in Bassist magazine. You learn something everyday.

Guitar parts resource did a P bridge cover to go over a badass II.

And it looks like a Jazz cover

Just looked on the site and it's not on there now. I can't remember that last time I looked on there

I guess nobody bought them so they discontinued it. IME many Precision players stick to the stock BBOT bridges whilst many Jazz players upgrade to higher mass and larger models, which perhaps explains it?

You might be right there.

I love my BAII on my P-bass. I could definately hear a difference. Only small but it was an improvemen IMO
