Members bmast160 Posted September 15, 2008 Members Share Posted September 15, 2008 see photo attached.... do the screws labeled "A" raise and lower the bridge? if not what are they for. the screws in parts labled "B" raise and lower the strings... (if "A" raises and lowers the bridge)...why do you need "A" if "B" does the same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members snaredrum Posted September 15, 2008 Members Share Posted September 15, 2008 ok, A doesnt raise the bridge, they just hold it in place. all adjustments are made using B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members snaredrum Posted September 15, 2008 Members Share Posted September 15, 2008 to raise the action, use the allen (you may call them hex) screws at the pickup end of each saddle. there are two to each string Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bmast160 Posted September 15, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 15, 2008 ok, A doesnt raise the bridge, they just hold it in place. all adjustments are made using B so should i just make sure A's are screwed all the way down? the A's just hold things together?

Members snaredrum Posted September 15, 2008 Members Share Posted September 15, 2008 if the intonation is out, you use the screws at the back of the bridge that hold the saddles on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members snaredrum Posted September 15, 2008 Members Share Posted September 15, 2008 the As should hold the bridge in place but not be overly tight. they should have a lip that sits on the bridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bmast160 Posted September 15, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 15, 2008 the As should hold the bridge in place but not be overly tight. they should have a lip that sits on the bridge gotcha. thanks for the help. one other thing...if i have the bridge floating a little higher than normal(i have it so i can pull the tone up one whole step) should the "A" screws be left out a little bit more...or they should just be screwed in all the way for any floating setup?

Members snaredrum Posted September 15, 2008 Members Share Posted September 15, 2008 they should hold the bridge in place and the springs should be adjusted to do the balance work. have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
