Description

Introducing the Badass V bridge, expertly designed as a direct-replacement option for both 4-screw and 6-screw Fender 5-string bass bridges. This innovative bridge is tailored for 5-string Precision Bass and 5-string Jazz Bass® players, providing them with enhanced attack, sustain, and exceptional note clarity. The Badass V accommodates string spacing ranging from 0.69" (17.5mm) to 0.75" (19mm), ensuring a perfect fit for your bass.

The origins of the Badass bridge date back to 1972, when musician, innovator, and luthier Glen Quan recognized the need for superior guitar and bass bridges. Collaborating with Leo Malliari of Leo’s Music in Oakland, CA, they introduced the first “Badass” bridges. Crafted from a high-density Zinc alloy, these bridges offered musicians improved attack, sustain, and note clarity. The popularity of the Badass® bridges surged among artists seeking to enhance their Fender basses, leading to their inclusion in several Fender artist signature models. Throughout the ‘80s, renowned brands like BC Rich, Spector, and Kramer adopted Badass bridges as original equipment, solidifying their reputation. Today, Badass is celebrated globally as the benchmark for quality replacement bridges that elevate the tone, playability, and visual appeal of your guitar or bass.
