4 String KickAss™ Bass Bridge
Description
DimensionsInstructions
At first blush, the KickAss™ might seem like a simple, heartfelt tribute to Leo Quan’s BadAssII®. A closer look, however, reveals significant improvements under the hood that put this bridge in a class of its own. We worked hard to ensure that the KickAss™ possesses the soul of the beloved original while also being so much more.
Adjustable string spacing from a narrow .687" (17.5mm) to a wide .800" (20mm) and anywhere in between thanks to fully adjust

Of all my basses, my Aerodyne has the least amount of mods done to it. All I've done is add a Hipshot BT10 Drop-D tuner and experiment with different strings. If memory serves correct, it's currently wearing a set of .040-.100 Rotosound Nexus black-coated strings. I really lucked out with mine! I've never felt the need ... ... more
