There were some production issues in April, May and early June - however, I checked with my usual source at AllParts and they have the BA II in stock and ready to ship with a 5 per customer limit. But at least they are now available in quantity again.

I think they've been having issues keeping up with demand for at least 18 months. They seem to come in spurts.

I believe Leo Quann has had some health issues, and the company is very small and has experience issues keeping up with demand. I hope Leo is OK.

PJB, good alternatives abound now. I still like the Gotoh 201.

YOU TOOK THE WORDS OUT OF MY MOUTH :mrgreen: I LIKE THEM ON A JAZZBASS THATS JUST ALREADY A BIT TOO HEAVY TO BE ADDING A BADA$$-II BRIDGE ON.
I bought one about 6 years ago and its been on many of my basses,its now parked on my P/J Bass project,if it were a direct fit without having to drill new holes for I would put it on my US Jazzbass,I dont use the string thru the body option and it would accent the bass perfectly but its a 60th anniversary model and dont want to start drilling holes in it because it would open the floodgates and I would be going nuts on it,next thing you know its getting the "relic" treatment and all hell then breaks loose,it will say where it is :mrgreen:

You really can feel the weight of the BA on your bass? 1st one I ever put on was the BA III, not heavy at all I don't think. It is beefier than the bent metal. The Gotoh I got 2 years a go when I got the '98. I like it, it's easier to intonate IMO, but I still like the BA bridge look better though.
