What we need to know from you, the bass enthusiast, is the answer to this question: Is the Badass II loved enough that the Omega would be a worthy successor?<\/strong><\/p>\n Badass II Saddle Weight: 7g Badass II baseplate weight with saddles off: 179g Badass II total weight: 221g Measurements: 3.23-inch x 2.48-inch for both Badass II and Omega<\/p>\n Height adjustment screws: Adjusted on both bridges with a 0.05-inch Allen key<\/p>\n Badass II intonation screws: Zinc plated with slotted head The saddles are interchangeable between the two bridges, HOWEVER, the thread count for both intonation and height screws are different. This means if you put Badass II saddles on an Omega bridge, the original intonation and height screws from the Badass II must be used.<\/p>\n For those not familiar with the Badass II much less the Omega bridge, the first thing that glaringly sticks out are the very long two-inch intonation screws. This is a crazy amount of length that most players should never need, but yet the bridge is designed that way.<\/p>\n There is however one thing those long screws give, and that’s a very specific look. For whatever reason, seeing the long screws with accompanying long springs surrounding the threads is just a nice piece of eye candy. Functionally, it doesn’t really help the player all that much, but it looks cool.<\/p>\n A lot of players love the Badass II bridge, and the Omega looks to be the successor. And by successor<\/em> we don’t mean to say it’s better or superior, we just mean it’s the thing that comes after the Badass II that very closely resembles it.<\/p>\n Given the fact you can’t buy the Badass II new anymore, is the Omega something you would be interested in, or is it just dead weight? Post a comment or two with your opinion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We’re starting off this article showing the weight of the Omega bridge just to give you an idea of how closely matched the Omega total weight is to the Badass II (less than a 5g difference between the two.)
