markytbass Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I am going to get a new bridge to replace the bit of wonky tin on my jazz bass. I'll probably end up getting a BadassII but what other alternatives are there out there for less cash? Anyone used any other bridge that has a similar spec? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers[/quote] I put a gold Gotoh 201 bridge on my Fender Urge Bass and I reckon its as good if not better than the Badass ( I put one on my Old Jazz Bass a while ago ) Pics here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=25396"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=25396[/url] Also my Landing L1 Bass has a Hipshot bridge and that is Excellent too.

The Burpster Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Gotoh, Hippy, Schaller & BA are all better than teh std one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass_ferret Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Depends on wether you are happy to drill new holes. A quick trawl round a few guitar parts websites should tell you what is a direct replacement and what needs new holes. I know the Hipshot does not fit the fender 5 holes.

markytbass Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 I'm not fussed about filling or drilling holes, I just want something more substansive (a bit more mass) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markytbass Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 I have now bought a Schaller copy so I'll see how that goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
