Not factory fretless but all original parts are included. Very cool.

Take off that horrible bridge and pickups, and it’s a winner. That is killer!

Come on, Matt, don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel. :lol:

What do you have against Badass bridges? I personally love them on my Js.

Yeah and he probably offered the seller about $500 for it because it wasn’t factory original and it had been converted to fretless so it wasn’t worth much anymore and so on and so forth and then he claims that the alterations “work to the basses advantage” and how it’s a great vintage instrument and more than quadruples the price of what he bought it for. Buyer beware. Especially from that seller.

Damn! The route for the bridge has to be DEEP!
The Badass 1 sits really tall and the only way to make it
work on a Fender would be to shim the neck WAY up or
route the body deep......like 1/4" deep.
On a good note, looks like it was done really well.

Never knew that about the Badass I. (I only have Badass IIs on my basses). Thanks Bill.
