I've been trying to buy one on line but everyone appears to be sold out ? . . . and most of the big online suppliers in the UK and the US have them listed as "Currently Unavailable" with no known date when they will be back in stock ? Are they obsolescent/discontinued or just temporarily out of stock ? Not much help on the Loe Quan company website - which says . . . . "After a delay in the supply of Leo Quan® - Badass™ products to the marketplace, it is with great pleasure that we share with our website visitors, fans and friends that we have completed and shipped a VERY large order to our US Distributor, ALLPARTS" . . . and that was back in July 2009 . . . .doesn't look like the sites been updated since ? . . . . . goes without saying that Allparts dont have any in stock ! Cheers, [/quote] hi there check out the hipshot fender replacement bridges more expensive than the baddass but imo twice as good.

Neither particularly 'tubey' nor clear in tone[/quote] funny that" practically all the stages ive played in europe...(festival circuit..etc) equip with SWR/ampeg or the like.....maybe hartke....never marshall" or trace" i will be playing @ the womad festival this year...so i"ll keep my eyes open for the other stuff!!! maybe.

[quote name='aceuggy' post='1149784' date='Mar 4 2011, 08:10 PM']Just bought another bass, a nice Fender, not sure what it is exactly, but I the body (neck is newer) is pretty old, early 60's I think. Anyway the bridge is quite tatty and I'm considering swapping it out for a Badass11. Just can't find one here in the UK. Tried google, tried Bass Centre, they are out of stock. There seems to be shortage of them. Can anyone suggest where I might be able to get hold of one, preferably on-line. Many thanks[/quote] well hello... forget badass bridges!!!!! buy a hipshot fender replacement twice as good truly!!!!!

hi there if you can get hold of a boss bf2b bass flanger on ebay BUY ONE!!!!!! WHY? because they chorus & flange the upper frequencies only & with some tweeking sound as good if not better than some pedals three times the price" l....therefore leaving the low end untouched!!!!! the reason they sound so good?????ANALOG.....of course.
