Description
The Hipshot KickAss 5 String Bass Bridge is their version of the famous Leo Quan high mass BadAss II bridge and is a direct replacement for Fender Squier six screw bridges (we also stock a version with the original BadAss six screw hole pattern as a separate item). The saddles run in channels to remove any unwanted side to side movement and are individually intonatable and height adjustable. The brass saddle inserts can be moved to adjust the string spacing from 16.7 mm to 19 mm per string (0.656" to 0.75") for better string, pickup and neck alignment and two tall inserts are also included to give a higher action if required. We also stock Hipshot stainless steel saddle insert sets as a separate item if you wish to brighten the tone of the bridge over the brass inserts installed. The top loading strings mount through the back of the bridge for quick and easy restringing.
