Leo Quan Badass Bass Tuning Machines Tuners Set 4-in-Line Black
Condition: Excellent
If you’re looking for bass hardware with a serious pedigree, it’s hard to get much more recognizable than Leo Quan Badass! These black 4-in-line bass tuning machines feature the substantial large-post design, four-screw mounting pattern, open-gear construction, and unmistakable BADASS branding. The OGT design uses a high-precision 22:1 gear ratio for exceptionally fine tuning adjustment, along with a cast-zinc base plate and hex-head worm-gear tension screw designed to improve stability, reduce slippage, and provide a smooth, accurate feel. Designed as upgraded replacements for Fender and Squier-style basses, these are a substantial step above ordinary generic replacement tuners.
The Badass name has been a serious part of bass history since the original Leo Quan Badass bridges appeared in the 1970s, earning a following among players looking for improved performance from their instruments. The brand's hardware has been associated with legendary bassists including Geddy Lee, Marcus Miller, Sting, Flea, and many others. Geddy Lee has even discussed his long preference for Leo Quan Badass bridges and the additional sustain and intonation accuracy he experienced from them. These tuning machines carry that same unmistakable Badass identity, making them an excellent choice for a serious bass upgrade, restoration, or custom build where quality hardware and recognizable pedigree both matter.
