well i just added to my collection again, i have just come into possesion of a '75 g1, it has an emg for a regular guitar in place of the stock pickup, but it actually sounds really good, other than that nothing special, natural finish, typical wear, but it was short money and i love these basses. once i get it home though, i realize that the bridge is a mess, i.e. saddle screws missing/broken, and one of the intonation screws is stripped beyond use.
i have no problem putting something like a badass II on it, but i really like the option of having a string-thru body, it gives it a little more string tension which comes in handy when playing detuned like i do.
so my question is, does anyone know of any good aftermarket bridges which would still allow me to string though the body. i found a supposed "badass III" bridge on ebay today
