I wanted to upgrade the bridge on my Squire short scale Jag bass, and was unsure which aftermarket bridge to get. I knew about the badass, but had the Gotoh recommended to me by the bassist in my band. So, the first plus is the price point. Which is about half of what the badass retails for. Second, is the quality of the product. At the guitar repair place I took it to be installed, I inquired about the badass, and a couple people behind the counter suggested the Gotoh bridge. Last is the look, the finish is beautiful! Also, it's a direct fit, no modifications necessary for it to be installed.

I thought this was a quality replacement bass bridge. Gotoh, has a good reputation, and this bridge looked to be built well. I used this bridge as an upgrade, and replaced my stock Fender Jazz . It was supposed to be a direct fit replacement, After installing it , my action was poor.. I.lowered the saddles ..still not enough..adjusted the truss rod...WOW!..never did a mod create such problems.After a little research gotoh saddles are machined bigger causing the problem. The use of your old saddles will work, but can leave your sound a little flat.. I replaced the gotoh bridge with a FENDER HIGH MASS... and now I have the substain and tone that I was looking for, and the fender bridge was a pain less installation. To all of you FENDER BASS PLAYERS .....Stay away from the GOTOH 201-B -Jazz Bass Bridge... Its not machined properly, causing poor action issues , truss rod adjustments, some say you have to shim the neck...Save Yourselves a lot of time and trouble ,invest in a FENDER HIGH MASS BASS BRIDGE BRIDGE ..It will be worth it....

Nice heavy well made bridge. Looks great and is easy to use and adjust. One drawback is the included screws were a bit lightweight and too small to fit into the stock screw holes on my Squire Jazz bass. I drilled out the holes on the Gotoh to a larger diameter so I could use the larger stock screws which worked with no problems. Was able to set intonation and string height with no issues. Not sure I noticed any major change in playability or tone but there appears to be a slight increase of sustain.

Nice bridge that perfectly fit on my pbass. Looks solid and was easy to adjust. Good product at a reasonable price.

There is no reason to spend more on a bridge than this. That's because this one is so good and it checks all of the right boxes. High mass? Check. Slots to keep saddles in place? Check. Substantial saddles? Check. Easy to adjust? Check. Looks great (and is) very high quality? Check. Unless you absolutely need a string through body bridge, get this. You won't regret it. Pros: Everything Cons: None
