Hey, soon I'll be finishing up my korina PJ bass, and I started looking at bass bridges. Are there strong opinions and reasoning for / against the: Gotoh 201, Schaller that Warmoth sells, or the LQ Badass series? The Gotoh is nice and cheap but the Schaller looks cool and industrial, while the Quan products have a long (good?) rep, I think.
Also, these will all fit in the standard W rout, right?

I am not familiar with any of them. But if one has a string spacing adjustment feature it would be a bonus!

Maybe of use to you or not:
I have used Hipshot bridges and they are really well made. Might be worth checking out their site. If you buy direct and email them to ask for a discount they will probably give it to you as they did for me on 4 occasions.

Is this for a regular Precision/Jazz type body? What are you going for?

Not that I'm that much help even knowing that - all I know is that the Leo Quan Badass bridges have been out of production for several years now. A lot of people prefer the simple traditional 7ender bridge to the higher-mass ones, I have a normal one on one P-Bass with flats and a Badass II on another P-Bass with rounds and active electronics - I like both!

I would go hipshot. Loads of styles to choose from, at just about any string spacing you like. Fantastic build quality too

Another vote for Hipshot. They have so many options and the bridges are very high quality.
