BADASS BASS II™
Designed as a direct-replacement bridge for 5-screw Fender® bass bridges, the Badass II offers Precision Bass® and Jazz Bass® players increased attack, sustain, and note-clarity. Used by players like Geddy Lee, Marcus Miller, and David Ellefson, among others, the Badass II became standard equipment on multiple manufacturers’ artist signature models. If you own a Fender bass with a 5-screw mounting design, this is the bridge for you!
BIRTH OF A BADASS
Back in 1972, musician, innovator, and luthier Glen Quan saw the need for higher-quality guitar and bass bridges. With help from Leo Malliari of Leo’s Music in Oakland, CA, the first “Badass” bridges were born. “Leo Quan Badass” bridges were manufactured from a high-density Zinc alloy and offered improved attack, sustain and note-clarity. Badass® bridges quickly gained a following with artists looking to upgrade their Fender® basses and were ultimately featured on several Fender artist signature models. Through the ‘80’s, BC Rich, Spector and Kramer featured Badass bridges as original equipment on their instruments and artist acceptance continued to grow. Today, Badass is known worldwide as the standard for quality replacement bridges that will enhance the tone, playability and appearance of your guitar or bass.

Review:
I am at a loss to explain the difficulties obtaining the Leo Quan bridges. As exclusive and elitist as Leo Quan was, I am just elated
to get these Badass type IIs again. The II squared with the string notches were nice, but being always out of stock, makes them useless to me. Thank whom ever is making these. I need bridges
& saddles, and I don't care who's name is on them, as long as the quality is good. These are a good quality bridge, and I am very happy to have them and the saddles back in stock! Thanks to Allparts!
