Description
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.
• Comes standard with brass saddle inserts which emphasize the fundamental tone and give your bass a mellow sound.
• 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 available (sold separately). Stainless Steel emphasizes the harmonic overtone series and gives your bass a brighter sound.
Features
• 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.

Turned my Ibanez Talman bass into a monster! Very good bridge especially if you're considering playing in lower tunings. Bridge is about an inch longer than a standard p bass bridge so you get a bit more string tension. Definitely a noticeable upgrade! Keep in mind it adds a bit of weight, I can imagine on a p - bass or jazz bass it would get a little heavy!

I installed this on a Fender Precision Bass. The bridge has a solid build with adjustability in 3 directions.
BUT even the lowest saddle insert cannot be set as low as the Fender bridge. So the G-string is too high.
AND the E-string saddle cannot be set back far enough to intonate accurately.

Replaced the crappy flimsy Fender standard bridge with this, Wow! I can't believe how much better my bass sounds. The action and Intonation is improved as well! Very easy to install!
