They spent years plus countless versions ensuring that this 'tribute' would possess the soul of the original without being a copy. The KickAss features the following: Unique saddle design features pre notched inserts (no filing required). These inserts allow you to easily adjust your string spacing from a narrow .687" (17.5mm) to a wide .800" (20mm) and anywhere in between! Comes standard with brass saddle inserts which emphasize the fundamental tone and give your bass a mellow sound. Also included are two extra inserts for greater range of height adjustment. The KickAss mounts on a typical 5 hole bass configuration and features recessed string ball holes for a sleeker look. All mounting hardware included. Review: Solid, easy to use, great looking, and affordable!! - Amazing quality, lots of easy options for intonation!! Short springs and bolts for the heavier strings, if needed. I love the look, the sustain and sound seem better than the cheap stock bridge. Blacking out my bass is taking it's time, but this was a no-brainer. Due to ease of use alone, I give this thing 5 stars. Will be replacing more bridges in the future for this beast! Review: Very Nice Bridge Replacement/Upgrade - I've been restoring, upgrading and setting up guitars for many years. I am renovating a 1980 Fender Precision Bass for a family member. The original was in decent technical condition but heavily pitted. This bridge is extremely nice, solid/stable and very well made. About the looks - I wanted the action to remain the same (string height and length), but for this guitar I wasn't as concerned about "period correctness" - However I did want the bridge to look like it was supposed to be there. This bridge is exactly the one and the chrome is absolutely stunning. The fit was perfect, and it comes with shorter intonation screws, springs as well as a couple of low profile brass inserts (serviceable) for greater adjustment of string action. In a high performance situation, I might have purchased chrome inserts, but these brass ones sound perfect and should last a very long time on this guitar. I rated "Ease of Install" 3 stars only because you MUST know what you are doing, especially as it relates to setting up the guitar. It's more than screwing the bridge in, although you want to do that correctly as well. The kit includes basic bridge setup instructions, so read/follow them, and do some additional research on "setting up bass guitar". There are a ton of decent videos out there, so check them out before you tear into this project. Having done these projects many times, one of the most important notes of advice is that you SHOULD measure string length and height BEFORE you remove the old bridge so you can get the initial setup for the new bridge pretty close from the start. Once you install the new bridge, then you can fine-tune the adjustments for intonation and string height. If you the old bridge first, and replicate the settings on the new bridge, then you will only need to worry about fine-tuning. . ## Features - High Mass Bass Bridge - Retrofits 5-hole Fender - Chrome Finish ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #6,518 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #3 in Bass Guitar Bridges & Bridge Parts | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,086 Reviews | ## Images ![Hipshot KickAss High-mass Bass Bridge for 5-bolt Fender, Chrome - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61WMNQWOqSL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid, easy to use, great looking, and affordable!! *by T***E on October 31, 2025* Amazing quality, lots of easy options for intonation!!
