The Bass Picture Gallery

[Slash04]

Sorry if it's been asked already, but what wood is that? Very sexciteful.

 

[shinobi]

the body is 2P alder bound to a flame maple top... so wad ur looking at is flame maple. there's a transparent amber finish, so the maple isn't naturally that yellow

because of the carved top, the flames look a *little bit* quilt-ish

 

[Slash04]

Wow.

*drooling*

can take a bite from it ?

 

[cherns]

I remember that bass

 

[shinobi]

haha yes i especially took a photo of the bridge for that. but i was too lazy to take off all the screws to show the shielding. when i do i'll have my camera on hand (or rather on the tripod)

 

[yuujin]

hipshot vintage bent bridge...
didnt know it was that small!

 

[shinobi]

i was quite surprised because it was freaking smaller than the plain old stock bridge. i emailed hipshot to confirm. but in the end i was quite pleased. and it is darn solid. since it was "hipshot" i had to pay a premium. i would have easily gotten a gotoh if there was one that fit

dang i agree.
im using a hipshot bridge as well.
for the price the badassII/gotoh would have done the same job.

 

[shinobi]

considering the fact that my bass has stock dimarzio's, if i installed a BA people would think that i was using my father's bass from the 80's.

anyway i've read of stories about how BA bridges cause the bridge action to be raised significantly and...

... i think it's ugly

 

[jbarks]

that might not be true in your case -- it only really raises the action if your bridge is on top of the body. if it's set in like yours you may not run into the action issue... but hey, hipshots are always good

I share the same sentiments. =X

 

[Resetti]

something confuses me about the badass II bridges.

that is, what are the saddles at such a sharp angle on the part where they touch the strings?

isnt' this bad for the strings as the sharp angle will cut into the strings and eventually snap them?

 

[aquanaut]

duh....you are supposed to SLOT the saddles so that the strings sit nicely on the saddles....duh?

 

[5stringwonder]

don't they sell a version of the badass that's pre-slotted?

 

[Resetti]

slotted, but isn't the angle still pretty sharp? anyone has sting breakage experience with the ba2 bridges?

 

[VinOnBass]

haha it's pretty hard to tear bass strings uh? =D

 

[tim_1002]

it just looks sharp but there's actually enough metal at the 'edge' to not tear/cut/split/break/snap the strings

 

[5stringwonder]

got a Badass on my Sadowsky. Never had a problem with strings snapping.
