Great product, fantastic merchant

Hipshot Kickass 5 bridge replaced the piece of junk stock bridge that came with my Squier Jazz. If you own a Squier, I highly recommend upgrading. Now it's easy to adjust the action and string spacing as well.

Hipshot Kickass Bridge (Black)

So I ordered the Hipshot kickass bridge from Fat Bass Tone, and unfortunately they sent me the wrong color. I simply got in touch with them, and they sent the replacement promptly the next day. Unfortunately when that bridge arrived it had been opened, and parts were missing. I let them know the situation, and they had no problem sending me another one with the correct color, in a box that was sealed, and never opened. Out of a possible five stars I am able to grant four from a likely two, because of the fantastic customer service. Thanks again Fat Bass Tone!

EXCELLENT product and FAST shipping!

This bridge was a perfect drop in replacement for a Squier Mini P. The extra screws and springs provided were super useful. Fat Bass tone is Da bomb!!!

Solid upgrade!

Installed this on my Fender Mustang PJ Bass. Definetely worth it! It adds to the “fullness” of my tone, and you if you’re finicky about intonation, it makes it easier to fine tune. Would definitely recommend, and also, Fat Bass Tone has been nothing but supportive and helpful the entire way. Keep the funk going!

DESCRIPTION

At first blush, the KickAss™ might seem like a simple, heartfelt tribute to Leo Quan’s BadAss®. A closer look, however, reveals significant improvements under the hood that put this bridge in a class of its own. Hipshot has worked hard to ensure that the KickAss™ possesses the soul of the beloved original while also being so much more.

FEATURES

Adjustable string spacing from narrow to wide and anywhere in between thanks to fully adjustable pre-notched brass inserts.

  • 4 String Spacing: .687" [17.5mm] to .800" [20mm]
  • 5 String Spacing: .656" [17mm] to .750" [19mm]

Replacement stainless steel saddle inserts emphasize overtones and treble frequencies

Features recessed string ball holes for a sleeker, sexier look

Available in Chrome, Black, Gold and Nickel finishes

Mounting Patterns are retrofit for specific bridges:

  • 4 String: Mounts with a typical 5 hole configuration
  • 5 String Mount Style 1: Retrofits the original BadAss® hole pattern
  • 5 String Mount Style 2: Retrofits Fender® Squier® hole pattern
