They definitely add sustain and top end/brightness. I put Leo Quan Badasses on all my basses. None of the knock offs, only the real thing.

[@eightfifty2309]

Agreed. Especially the old school ones, they are the way to go. Best bridges ever.

[@karlmartin849]

What is considered a knock off, is the all parts version legitimate?

[@fostervalle2483]

A little Willie the Pimp in the beginning I dig

[@marcwormjim]

I smiled with all my teeth upon hearing “Willie the Pimp.” Thank you.

I bought a $20 knockoff BA bridge. On amazon..looks and sounds great..heavy duty.. i put it on my early 90s mex pbass...love it..made it way better.

[@christosfragias592]

At 3:18 it doesn't appear that the low E string has fit through the rear of the bridge properly.

High Density zinc alloy. Individual string height adjustment, perfect intonation.

[@Bluewaterboy]

It’s sounds brighter are those new strings on the last demo?

[@premierguitar]

Same strings as pre mod.

[@nachbelichtet]

If you loosen the strings a lot and retune them, they will sound fresher again. You can also pull on them a few times when they are loose and let them slap against the fingerboard. That, by the way, is the real effect when it comes to boiling out the strings. You can save yourself the boiling: Just loosen the strings, let them snap a few times, and they'll sound fresh again for a while.

Link please for the Bridge! Thank you.

Hard to tell in the video, but will the grooves accommodate larger strings for a BEAD setup?

[@konjunto2477]

Good video, but I have a question about the replacement Quan Badass Bridge . Right now as we speak I just finished replacing the stock Bridge on my Gretsch G2220 4 string bass and I discovered it did drop in with ease except that the Badass Screws are longer and thicker with a larger screw head. I did not want to take the chance of damaging the bass body or stripping the old holes so I just used the old Chrome color ones. (or can I just use the replacement Badass screws without any issues) Will this be a problem as far as string tension pulling the bridge forward or not if I keep the old smaller screws in? right now it is very snug, but I haven.t restrung it because I'a going to spray paint the Pickup Rings Gold to match the other gold hardware. Thank you in advance to anybody else who might have had a similiar issue. Also were the screws different on the Badass than on the your stock Fender Mustang bridge?

[@rareform6747]

Nice but strings though the body would optimize this bass ?

[@jamesreynolds4487]

People don’t understand you don’t need a big bridge. Would you like about those bridges is the saddles. The Bridge material itself does not give you sustain. It’s the saddles if they are made of brass or steel. Brass saddles will brighten things up but suck away your mids. If you like that then just get a bridge with thick brass saddles. The zinc material has nothing to do with the sound except adding a few extra pounds to the bass.

I'm having trouble knowing ahead of time what bridges will be a compatible with my bass without a bunch of routing work. I have a squier paranormal rascal bass with a mustang style bridge. I dont think any of the aftermarket bridges I'm finding will work and this particular mustang in this video has a standard bridge going in.

[@MrRudePolite]

I have this bass and the sustain is pretty bad, I had no idea a new bridge could help

[@paultraynorbsc627]

Nice

[@ronnieroxx13]

I'm not sure how I would know if there was a difference in sustain, I didn't hear it before you changed it... no baseline to compare to. Take your word.

Change the strings instead

[@MrKenstar2]

Exactly

[@MrKenstar2]

He doesnt tell us if he can tell the difference? Waste of time dude

[@stefanovite664]

WILLIE THE PIMP

[@mjolnircarlssen4211]
