Whoa!

Wish I have known that back then. The strings would break at the bridge and I had a badass bridge on that Jazz bass!

I currently have a badass II on my latest Jazz bass and have had no problems over the last 15+ years with it. Guess they must have improved the design on the BA II models.

I won't have to worry about it now that I have become an EBMM family member

Still jam my J-bass though. That may change once I get the Burnt Apple SR4 from Joel

the only strings i break are blue steels (steals?? i suck at spelling)...

Dean Markley Blue Steel. They were the ones i broke They came with a cool blue sticker though (not worth 60 bucks i might add)

One of the reasons I played Blue Steels for so long was the fact that I picked up 8 sets on Ebay for $40. I had played them once before that and liked them so I though "what the hell".

I used to break a string about once a week when I played with a pick in hard rock bands years ago. Def played too hard and used those thick Dunlop Tortex picks.

Sometimes - especially on old Fenders and sometimes on Bad-Ass bridges - I found there were the tiniest little burrs on the saddles. Constant pressure against them made the strings break at the bridge.

For the longest time, I thought it was me. A magnifiying glass and a little piece of good sandpaper really cleared things up for me.

Actually I used to face this problem with my StingRay.

The G string saddle was eating the string so it always broke at tat point. It seems now that after a few string changes, the saddle became leaner.
