ahpook Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Have you seen [url="http://guitar-machine-heads.com/download/C1ffcfe16X12a3cdeff9eX4465/BassSteg_BassSteg2000_4_saitig.jpg"]this[/url] diagram ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Dean Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Yes thanks , I've been told to loosen off the 3mm machine screw at the back slightly , Then loosen the small machine screw & slide the saddle to change the intonation . This seems that it would be a bit awkward to slide the saddle while the string is under tension . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubrad Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 You have to take the tension off! I have one of these. . just think of the mechanics of it. . P.s. brilliant piece of kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Dean Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 Do you mean String tension ? I've only been used to the fender style that is relatively quick to use . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Dean Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 I noticed the problem I had was that it's a new 36" scale Shuker & it came with extra long Roto sound strings .On the E string that is D tuned to D the cotton wrapping around the ball end was resting on the bridge I didn't notice it at first but this had a dampening effect now all resolved .Thanks for all your help.

BigRedX Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I've got one of these on my Hartke bass. Unnecessarily complicated and I can't really see how it's any kind of improvement over the original Schaller 3-D bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] It's not that complicated really, and each string pulls straight even at maximum adjustment. To adjust the rollers on the 3D you still have to slacken the string.

The bass it's fitted to is currently up for sale and I would serious think twice before buying another one with it fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
