King Tut Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 I've got a high mass and highly adjustable Gotoh bridge on a rather tasty Bass Collection instrument I own. I've provided a picture below. Could anyone direct me to adjustment instructions please, or amend the pic and repost with arrows and words on? There are also allen screws (only just visible) directly behind each saddle which I would assume are for saddle height adjustment, but the big allen screw at the back of each block also influences saddle height. Why are there two adjusters for saddle height and what is the correct way to set up this bridge? Thanking you in anticipation, Colin [url="http://s1326.photobucket.com/user/Curvylovedog/media/P1030061_zps1694b030.jpg.html"][/url] Quote
HowieBass Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 This diagram should help - by the way I think that's a 206 and quite hard to get hold of... http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/6295/gotoh.jpg Quote
King Tut Posted July 10, 2014 Author Posted July 10, 2014 That's wicked HowieBass, just what I wanted. Thank you so much! Quote
Mornats Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Show us more pics of the bass please! I love Bass Collections and that looks a beauty. Quote
Bassman Sam Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 King Tut. I was just about post the same question. Do you know what size allen key is needed to adjust the saddle heights? My bridge has the locking screws missing. Quote
King Tut Posted July 13, 2014 Author Posted July 13, 2014 Pics to follow and will get info on the Allen key size! Quote
King Tut Posted July 13, 2014 Author Posted July 13, 2014 (edited) Pics as promised. Regarding the screw size I can't really help I'm afraid as I have no way of measuring :-) [url="http://s1326.photobucket.com/user/Curvylovedog/media/P1030066_zpsafbd98e2.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1326.photobucket.com/user/Curvylovedog/media/P1030067_zpsb14be858.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1326.photobucket.com/user/Curvylovedog/media/50dcf95c-efca-43cb-97a0-5d4e9872f477_zps8683d2bf.jpg.html"][/url] [URL=http://s1326.photobucket.com/user/Curvylovedog/media/P1030064_zps528365b3.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1326.photobucket.com/albums/u642/Curvylovedog/P1030064_zps528365b3.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Edited July 13, 2014 by King Tut Quote
HowieBass Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 That's one tasty looking bass! Zebrawood top? Quote
hubrad Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 1.5mm for height adjusters, 2mm for the locking screw (that larger one at the back) and spacing (screw on the front of the saddle, slacken it and you can slide the top of the saddle. Adjustable 18-20mm). Quote
King Tut Posted July 13, 2014 Author Posted July 13, 2014 I think Zebrano . . . . Is that the same as Zebra wood? Nice ebony board and lovely low action :-) Quote
