hello,

 

is there anyone here who know the exact moment when geddy switched for a badass II bridge on his 4001 ?

 

is there any documentation on why he decided to change ?

 

for you lucky owner of a 4001, would a badass bridge change very much the sound of the bass ?

Personally I wouldn't go the Badass route. Hipshot makes a drop-in heavy mass Ric replacement bridge that is used a lot by people who want something more substantial than the stock one. That way you wouldn't have to drill new holes in your bass. It would change the tone a little. Make it a bit more metallic sounding with more emphasis on the high midrange.

I was wondering if daylight savings had kicked in by that date, but that had happened on April 24th. Good call.

Today that is part of daylight savings. But maybe not in 1977.

 

That date may be pretty good too because in 1976 he still had the stock bridge (pics from ATWAS) whereas pics from '77 he has the badass.
