Yeah I've finally finished arseing about with me Squier Precision Special. After adding the badass II bridge I added some original Precision Vol & Tone knobs. I've also just today fitted a 3ply black scratchplate that I've had made for me, as you can see it's nowt flash, just the basic plate for a Precision, but I feel it takes away the cheap look that the white plates give. I love black on black! The 'After' photo was taken with me Sony Ericsson. hence the inferior quality compared to the 'Before' pic.

Looking good mate, great improvement IMO. What does it play like with the new bridge?

An absolute world away from the standard one mate.
I read on forums where they claim a badass makes your action high? Not the case, it feels very comfortable and I haven't even filed the saddle grooves for the strings, some say you should, some say it don't matter. Anyway I've heard that the Fender Geddy Lee Signature jazz bass comes with the badass bridge with the saddles unfiled, so if it's good enough for Geddy, It's good enough for me :lol: Thanks for looking Steve :thumb:

Looks great Unraveled.
Classic color and classic sound from Fender.I bet the new bridge adds sustain to your overall sound now.

I sure would like to record sometime with you and that new badass bass!.
