Legion Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 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?

Ou7shined Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Can you swap the longer D/G screw over to the E/A and vice versa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively I bet Bass Doc has spares .... I'd drop him a PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Edited March 25, 2011 by Legion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
