This Hipshot Kickass Badass 5K400C Bridge fit my 2004 IC Squire Jazz Bass perfectly. The sound is terrific for the blues jams that I attend. Many compliments on the sound and play-ability from fellow guitarists and bass players. Very happy and very much recommended. -v-

Installed this bridge on my Jazz Bass Deluxe and never looked back. It's an. amazing upgrade that make my bass sing, and now it's easier to intonate the instrument. I'll be getting onother one for one of my short scale basses.

Love the flexibility. Hit a couple of snags installing onto a short scale Mustang--I really needed much shorter saddle screws and much taller inserts. Thankfully, the screws were pretty standard 6-32s I could easily swap out and even more thankfully, Hipshot gave us the ability to drop our own inserts in. Grabbed a hunk of copper and a couple hours later I was a happy camper. Now my bridge is also anti-microbial and the steamcore copper tone emphasizes the 400th order harmonics which the clockwork elves really groove to when I play the "Schism" intro over and over and over all day long.

Didn't think a bridge would effect the sound of an instrument so much. This bridge has been a godsend. Took me minutes to install and has taken my bass to the next level. Brass saddles give it a very nice mellow sound without taking away too much high end. The string spacing adjustment is great too.

Great bass bridge. High quality. Very easy to install and set up. No regrets.

The kick ass was a perfect drop in replacement for the stock bridge on my Washburn T-24. It took only minutes to install, and it was an instant improvement. Easy to intonate, although, it was a bit tight to get a screwdriver between the end of the string and the recess in the bridge, maybe allen head screws could be the answer. Love the adjustability, recessed screws, and the rounded corners. My old bridge had height adjustment screws that stuck up and always annoyed me.

I own a Fender CIJ Jaguar bass, it is a great instrument with tons of sound options but seem to lack end bottom. I retrofit the bridge and first I thought about the most popular option (badass), but noted string spacing was limited, so I installed a Hipshot. The bass sounds great with this change, has more presence (Fundamentals) and cuts better thru live sound. I am seriously thinking on putting in all my basses.

Easy to install and it packs a lot of range setting up the saddle height and insert spacing. I would recommend this bridge to others.

Feels, sounds, and looks awesome on my Fender CIJ Precision!

I been building basses for 26 years and this bridge is just the best one I ever used, the tone the sustain , the price, and it gives you a lot of options, thanks Hipshot for this product it is fantastic

I been building basses for 26 years this is the best bridge I ever use it has a lot of options and the sound the is just amazing, thanks Hipshot for this product

This is the best bridge I've ever run across! I've got one on each of my gigging basses, and will put one on every one I get.

I chose the Hipshot Kickass bridge for a few reasons. The adjustability of this bridge and the ability to use different types of saddle inserts are 2 of those reasons. This bridge is the right stuff. The tone is amazing. Yes, I did notice a major difference over the stock bridge. The saddles on the hipshot make it possible to center the strings over th pole pieces. A great feature of this bridge.

This bridge is the true Kick Ass bridge, true sustain and very versatile. Stings can even be adjusted to spacing specs not to mention the saddle inserts..love it!!!

I just installed the Kickass bridge on my 74 'Jazz Bass. The bass has completely changed, and for the better. I felt that the sound now is more dense, improved the sustain and the timbre got even better, considering it is a Fretless. Highly recommend!

This 25 year old Squier Jazz has always played amazing and the KickAss was part of her recent upgrade. I had an aftermarket vintage saddled high mass on her before, and she was mellow and jazzy. With the kickass, you can really feel the strings kick back and rebound and snap for you. The coveted Jazz growl is there in spades and it has a sustain through the roof. I don't know which did more, the new pickups or the bridge, but I can really feel the impact of the bridge. One gripe, which is the closed screw hole in the saddle limited my intonation flexibility, and I had to cut one of the screws down to get room for perfect intonation.

Excellent quality as always. Great design. Ultimate in adjustability. Sustain for days, and at a great price!!

I replaced the standard bridge on my Squier modified 70s jazz bass, with a kickass. The tone and sustain are awesome. I will be buying another for my Fender p bass.

I was never happy with my MIJ Fender Jaguar bass. After adding a Hipshot Supertone to my Gibson Thunderbird, I wondered if a bridge upgrade would 'fix' my Jaguar. The improvement was huge and undeniable: My bass felt much more 'solid' to play, with beautiful sustain and a darker, more natural tone, and full-bodied sound. Also, it just looked way cooler. Highly recommended!

I bought the black version of this bridge to replace the Badass II on my Geddy Lee Fender Jazz bass. I was not disappointed in how easy this bridge was to setup and fine tune! I love the deeper heel that hides the string nuts and also adds a little more substance. Every corner on every piece of this bridge was rounded off, which I didn't even realize was a complaint about my Badass II until I installed this one. It was such a little detail, and it made this bridge so much more comfortable. I love this bridge, and have been recommending it to all my bass player friends. I have a couple other guitars, I'll probably get them each their own KickAss setup. My only complaint is that the mounting screws didn't come in black, just to sharpen up the look of this great black and brass bridge. It's a pretty minor complaint, there's really nothing wrong with the screws that were provided, and I can pick up some black ones myself.

I use them on my bass guitars! Hipshot products ROCK!!!!!!!

is only a 4 String bass
