DESCRIPTION

It's not easy to capture the spirit of a former fan favorite while simultaneously creating a product that is exciting all on it's own...but that is exactly what Hipshot endeavored to with their new KickAss Bass Bridge. The saddle sets are a direct replacement for the Bad Ass 2 Style Bridge. The bridge comes with brass saddle inserts of 3 different heights. Stainless replacement saddle inserts are available for a punchier sound.

    The KickAss features the following.
  • Our unique saddle design features pre notched inserts (no filing required). These inserts allow you to easily adjust your string spacing from a narrow .687" (17.5mm) to a wide .800" (20mm) and anywhere in between!
  • Comes standard with brass saddle inserts which emphasize the fundamental tone and give your bass a mellow sound. Extra Saddle inserts can be found here.
  • The KickAss mounts on a typical 5 hole bass configuration and features recessed string ball holes for a sleeker, sexier look.
  • Stainless steel saddle inserts are avaliable. Stainless Steel emphasizes the harmonic overtone series and gives your bass a brighter sound.
  • Weight: 234 grams(8.25 ounces) without pointing screws or inserts.

I bought this bridge for a parts bass and I could not be happier about my choice. It is KickAss!

A must
By Benny
 
I absolutely love these bridges and have put them on six of my basses. Aside from the benefits of the mass I think the brass saddles give a wonderful clarity without sounding harsh. It's like they are the perfect balance between clarity and warmth.

Tight fit for Jazz bass
By tabtech
 
This high-mass large block bridge is excellent quality and very adjustable. However, I had to mount it at the very edge of my jazz bass body to maintain the 34" scale length. Fortunately, it came with two shorter bolts/springs which needed to be used to allow for intonation. Also, I needed to add a shim under the neck mount as my two outer strings are flat on the bottom of the bridge, even with the deepest saddles provided. Still, my action is slightly higher than I prefer, but the bridge is as low as I can make it. So I would need to add more shim to the neck mount, and/or lower the nut slots on the fretless neck, which I am hesitant to do right now.

Excellent replacement bridge
By Zipnla
 
It seems most players change out their bridge because of the tonal change. Personally , I do it for the feel of the way the strings vibrate through the bridge. This, Hipshot definitely improved the feel of the bass and install was ez breezy
