Mustang Bass Bridge issues

[Legion]

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction here...

My '75 Mustang bass is fairly out on the intonation of the E and A strings and I cannot move the saddle any closer to the neck as the intonation screws are not long enough (with TI flats fitted). The screws on the D and G are longer....

Anybody know what size the screws are so that I can source 2 longer ones that will allow me to setup the intonation correctly?

Cheers

Can you swap the longer D/G screw over to the E/A and vice versa?

That was my thought. Alternatively I bet Bass Doc has spares .... I'd drop him a PM

Nice idea but the D and G are intonated correctly and are close to the end of the (longer) screws that they already have.

Might drop Howard a mail as suggested...

Edit: Actually a bit of a trawl turned up a previous post by BassDoc stating that the screws (on a P or J bass) are 6-32 UNC, so I've ordered some 2" ones in that thread size. Fingers crossed

Ach well, worth a pop.

Quick update - 6-32 UNC screws arrived today, fitted and fixed the intonation issue straight away. Lovely
