the Leo Quan BadAss BASS II Bridge IS BACK
BRAND NEW VERSION WITH GROOVED SADDLES AVAILABLE NOW IN CHROME & NICKEL FINISHES
Originally created in the 1970s by Leo Malliaris and Glen Quan in Oakland, California, this iconic design is one of the first commonly retro-fit hardware for bass guitars and is famed for being installed on instruments used by big names such as Marcus Miller, Geddy Lee, Sting and Flea.
With its higher mass and precision machined zinc alloy construction, less of the string vibration is lost to the wood of the bass, allowing the string to vibrate longer, providing enhanced attack, punch, sustain, clarity and note definition. The Badass Bass II also eliminates inaccurate, harmonic tuning caused by round/roller saddles, interference of string ends contacting the bridge saddles, and unwanted side movement of strings and saddles, for the purest tone/sound transfer possible.
- Direct retrofit for 4 string Fender basses with bridges secured with the classic 5-hole mounting pattern
- High-density Zinc alloy offers increased attack and sustain.
- Pre-grooved saddles for easier installation and accommodation of wider or narrower string-spacing.
- Can be strung through-bridge (top-loading) or through-body.
- Color-matched mounting screws and height-adjustment Allen wrench included.
