Bad Ass Bridge for Jazz Bass



Has anyone done the A/B comparison between the Leo Quan Bad Ass II bridge
and a traditional Fender Vintage style?  Does $60 sound like a good price
for a Bad Ass II?

I am considering a American Standard vintage style Fender bridge with slots
or a Leo Quan Bad Ass II.  I am looking to replace my nearly dead vintage
bridge on an older Jazz bass.  I tried this once with a Gotoh but the bridge
sat too high and would not allow low action (yeah I could add a wedge but I
really do not want to go thru all that trouble).

 The bass has an alder body with a rosewood fretboard.  I play primarily
finger style and a little slap.  I do not have the finger style punch and
clarity that I want down low but love how the thing sounds from the E (A
string 7th fret) up.  I have EMG active J pickups.  Presently the bass also
has light gauge strings which I will thicken up next time around.

I guess you could say I have a real beauty from the waste up.

Thanks,

Dave
