I have BadAss III on mine. I'm looking for BadAss II's on my Squier or even the III. Not sure about which tuners I'm going with, but I'm looking to replace those too on the Squier.

On my black. P-bass special I added a Badass II bridge, Schaller strap locks, Hipshot HB7 tuners, Hipshot BT7 d-tuner, abalone pickguard, a 70's style headstock logo on an aftermarket maple neck w/black block inlyas and added a mini toggle switch as a kill switch. I'll soon add EMG pickups.

On my silver p-bass special I did the same but w/ a mirrored pickguard and Gotoh tuners w/o a d-tuner (always tuned to D). Stll has the stock neck.

I also moved the back strap button on both up a bit to be even with the top of the bridge to make it sit more comfortably on the shoulder.

I'm thinking the Badass III would be the way to go, but it only has three holes, my MIM Precision has five. How do you go about putting groves into a Badass II?

I used a dremel tool with a cutting wheel.
