Just got myself a black one for my black 70's vintage mid scale Squier Jag. Love the mellower tones of the brass saddles.

@iliasballas3849 6 лет назад

wow didn't know that brass and steel as choice material for saddles would make that much of a difference !!! amazing vid as always guys !!!

@EvanBradleyEDB 6 лет назад

Agreed, they really do make a big difference!

@bumblesnowmonster 6 лет назад

Excellent demo Will!!! Most folks (me included!) think they want new pickups when a replacement bridge can make a HUGE difference in tone. Trouble is, demos like yours are few and far between. Thanks for this! More! More!

Tune that baby! >:(

Dude that bridge with the stainless steel saddles really sound great 👌🏼 I'm learning more thank you for posting!

Fool's Journey spoiler alert!

@James40Hz 6 лет назад

Seriously though, I was actually looking at possible bridge upgrades for a Squier Jaguar 5 string. How does this compare to the Fender Hi Mass, Omega, Badass etc?

@TheBassChannel 6 лет назад

Fool's Journey I think the coolest part about this is the interchangeable saddles, otherwise they are all pretty similar in design.

@sega62s 3 года назад

it’s not about the tuning, it’s called jazz

Jazz on jz bass :-P

This series is great. I'm gonna upgrade the hell out of my Ibanez Talman thanks to you guys

@Mattleycrue66 6 лет назад

Did the Kickass Bridge fit your Talman with no modifications?

@knappymer 6 лет назад

Stainless inserts sound killer!

@raphaelcote3577 4 года назад

People bragging about the bass being detune... do you guys even know how to listen to the whole video before judging? Because it seems not. Great video as usual by the way!

@naitomea_st Год назад

Holy smokes I didn't realize how big of a difference that bridge made! My squire affinity j bass came with pretty soft and cheap hardware. I was adjusting the action on it when I noticed the hex screw started to strip and while it still works and barely adjusts, I might just dump that bridge all together and get this!

@analogman9697 6 месяцев назад

I got a Kickass bridge for my 2021 Affinity P+J and sent it back...holes didn't align.

@iamkyellow 3 года назад

Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos. That bass is an agent of chaos. Oh, and you know the thing about chaos? It's fair!

@sgcr9223 4 года назад

I put a hipshot bridge on my epi and it was a night and day difference

@a.j.garrett9639 2 года назад

Great comparison video. I really heard the difference.

@pCeLobster 5 лет назад

Tried this bridge on a couple basses and didn't really like the differences it brought versus the stock one. It seemed to be getting in the way of dynamics or certain frequencies or something. There was a limiting quality to it so I switched back to the normal bent plate. I did install it in a bass for my brother though and he loved it. I guess if you're doing more hard downstrokes with a pick it's just more stable and the sound works better for that.

@1thess523 6 лет назад

Dang it makes a huge difference

@kennethskaggs2832 3 года назад

You sure can tell the difference in tone. This what you are looking for. WTF is every one slamming of the tune ?????? I think that the tone is Fantastic ! I just installed one on my new Squier Vibe 50's P Bass. I am very sure that this Little Bad MO FO is going to sustain for days ! Hip Shot makes a great product and if I had the chance I would have bought a Leo Quan ! I been out of this part of the business for a while. Great Job !

@brenlouissurio2404 5 лет назад

I didn't know that bridge can affect the sound so much.

@skeeter197140 3 года назад

I was lucky enough to get my hands on an original Badass II, and it's definitely worth it.

@smithjeff3002 6 лет назад

Great demo: very thorough thank you!!

@Keeva2012 3 года назад

Next week is the tuning machine upgrade.. maybe that's when it gets tuned.

6 лет назад

Do the same with precision bass!

@Stewr306 5 лет назад

Tuning would make a bigger difference than the bridge.

@romankovshov2065 11 месяцев назад

@1thess523 6 лет назад

I got a Washburn high mass bridge for $15 at my local used guitar shop and it is almost an exact Bad A bridge , i was going to put it on my Affinity P bass but I'm going to save it for a better bass 😃

@Oscaraha Год назад

I think the fender high mass bridge is the best option in regards to price vs quality ratio. Given thats the one put on the ultra series its a steel for 40 bucks.

@privatezeron 10 месяцев назад

Do you have it on your bass? I'm thinking about putting it on my bass that's near 10 years old cause the bridge just seems so sad now that it collapsed on its own and it needs an upgrade!

@ericdallairez 2 года назад

Sold! I'm doing this mod!

@BigMuff75 Год назад

Steel all the way!

@nofuneral1790 3 года назад

The saddle sets are only $5 (plus way too much shipping) on their website. They should just include brass and steel sets with the damn thing.

@NodakSavage 2 года назад

Either that or at least sell the thing with Steel loaded already.

@davethepius 6 лет назад

Laughed my arse off when Hipshot relrased this bridge. Definitely one I will put on a future bass acquisition.

@carlosgarcia9225 5 лет назад

I was disturbed by the out of tune. But i think Steel saddles sounds better.

@Daddy53751 Год назад

As a builder this has got me thinking, Wonder what a SS nut would sound like?!?!

@timbuk1126 3 года назад

Steel for sure

@eldesgraciado6690 3 года назад

You're going to get lost in the mix anyway, unless you play like Harris.

@_Only_Zuul 9 месяцев назад

where do you get the stainless steel saddles?

@umbertofurlan501 2 года назад

Hi mate. What is the best badass bridge on market right now? Hip or stewmac?

@RoadhawK66 4 года назад

@justincournoyer8853 5 лет назад

Is this the chrome one of nickel one your playing? Thanks much appreciated.

@marike1100 6 лет назад

Why can't he hear how out of tune that bass is? When you play an octave and it sounds major 7th it's time to turn off the camera and tune your bass. Everything, the pups, the bridge, the paint is secondary to being in tune.

@TheBassChannel 6 лет назад

I like my octaves to sound like major 7ths sorry

@marike1100 6 лет назад

If you want to give a middle finger to your listeners, I'm fine with it. :-) But seriously, good channel but this Squier mod series has been a bit of a disaster.

@TheBassChannel 6 лет назад

G Calling it a disaster might be a bit of a stretch. We put in a lot of time and effort to try to show people some cool mods for a less expensive bass and people can't get past the fact that it's slightly out of tune in one part. We can't do everything perfectly with limited studio time and brand new strings. Bridge installed nicely, pickups sound good, paint applied successfully, strings kept stretching mid-take, ran out of studio time. All in all, I'm still happy with the effort we made to bring you this information and demonstration. Hopefully you'll enjoy the final part when the strings settled.

@EvanBradleyEDB 6 лет назад

@G: It's a good thing all the basses are in tune on your bass gear review channel. Oh, wait...

@nicholasdavidwelch 6 лет назад

Who cares if it's in tune or not, doesn't change the sound of what's being shown anyway. High five for a cool series. Planning a Squier remodel of my own, and this is helpful.

@SuperGeorge2112 5 лет назад

this guys wired to the moon lol.

@christanu9203 6 лет назад

How about the strings tension? are they getting lighter than they used to with kickass bridge?

@kostis6 4 года назад

Wow Great thank you! can i install them on a left handed squier jazz bass?

@qddk9545 2 года назад

Why not? just switch the saddles.

@emiliotorres3904 4 года назад

does this fit any squiar like a standard p bass?

@jenson-2460 4 года назад

What a bad comparison! Totally different dynamics while playing, different plucking positions, detuned bass... dudes!

@snowbunnywithann-wordpass6542 6 лет назад

Does it come with the ss saddles or were they a separate purchase?

@TheBassChannel 6 лет назад

SS was a separate purchase for $5

@sssidney 5 лет назад

Would this fit a classic vibe squire? It’s a 70’s p-bass

@TheBassChannel 5 лет назад

We tried to fit a Babicz onto a Classic Vibe and the bridge holes didn’t line up.

@sssidney 5 лет назад

Bassic Gear Review I have heard this before but thanks for clearing that up also thankyou for such a quick response

@winceton 6 лет назад

You have to be trolling with that out of tune G string.. there's no way you installed a bridge and reinstalled the strings without tuning.

@darrenclark9776 5 лет назад

I was thinking the same thing. Lol. Is this guy intentionally trying to piss off a bunch of people that should know what an open-G should sound like? If so, what a boss. :) :) :)

@garywillacey9979 6 лет назад

This is the only worth while change to this bass, along with strings; the bass is very good in its original form. The paint job is definitely waste of time, spoilt the looks of a beautiful natural finish guitar.

@b.cheese6830 2 года назад

Not really because it is made to his liking

@garywillacey9979 2 года назад

@@b.cheese6830 Very true, but still spoilt a nice natural finish, to me. We all have different tastes & this is mine & that's his Bless

@edwardralph5365 5 лет назад

you might want to tune..but cool vid!

@EvanBradleyEDB 6 лет назад

This bass is just begging to be given away at the end of the series. (wink wink, nudge nudge)

@TheBassChannel 6 лет назад

Evan Bradley Well, not this one, but we will be making another Super Squier and giving it away on Patreon. There will be more details in an upcoming video but you can head over to our Patreon page to learn more.

@rafito1280 6 лет назад

Any weight difference?

@boricesellers4669 6 лет назад

definitely! The new bridge is much heavier than the stock one. It's no surprise it would add some weight to the overall weight of the bass.

@MaximMash-mk2 5 лет назад

Hm stock hm maybe not

@nrich5127 3 года назад

Modding is so much fun but honestly ... there's no substitute for skill and knowledge.

@tomek9966 6 лет назад

Thanks, Just realized I`m not going to spend 70 pounds on it...I was close to do so... "Crap" stock sounded better to my elephant`s ears - Sorry...

@OswaldoCastil 5 лет назад

I thought I was the only one who liked the sound of the stock bridge better.

@cocoyc495 6 лет назад

Can't believe hipshot copied the badass. Guess you have to sell what people want. Their A style is a much better bridge.

@randyromero4808 5 лет назад

Lots of companies copied the Badass 2 bridge, including Fender!!

@CNick75 5 лет назад

The A style is absolutely better.

@solonmanoelcosta2075 3 года назад

Não há diferença alguma

@funkbasscorsario1400 4 года назад

Really disappointed review.....have a squier with aguilar pickups 60 & new pream with this bridge & the sounds fantastic better then those made in usa..

@huss03 6 лет назад

Wow...Brass eh? Mellow and musical. The difference is not subtle...

@MisterTee 5 лет назад

Sounds Belgian

@stormbringer67 3 года назад

Why don't you play some relaxed legato bass lines? If you did, there would be a better example for viewers to hear the differences in tone. Especially the flageolet part is just nonsense. Also: why the hell do you talk so fast? What's the point? And yes it's said before, but still: a decent player would have tuned the instrument first.
