If they ever made one. This is the inside traycard of our album which is obviously manipulated for effect, but does anyone know if there was ever a left handed LK made ?

This one really is 'one of only two ever made'.

Someone here told me that this is one of three known to exist.

I don't know.

No, the Jetglo color.

Hey, I know it takes away from being origional but the Badass is a hell of a lot eaiser to intonate than those friggin' Rick bridges.
Tighten the string, check the intonation. Not right. Loosen the string, GUESS the correct placement of the saddle, tighten the string, check the intonation.
Repeat over and over until the strings are stretched out dead and half of the life of them is left.
Talk about aq stupid way to set the intonation. Just exactly how is somebody supposed to turn those saddle adjustment screws located where they are?
I'm sorry, but I'm not a big fan of the origional Rickenbacker bass bridges.
My CS has one (of course) and I'm not changing that for obvious reasons, and my 1980 BG 4001 still is all origional. That bass will remain that way as well. But they are a ***** to adjust.

It's not hard to modify the stock bridge to work as well as the Badass.
