velvetkevorkian Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I have a bass with what I believe to be a Wilkinson bridge -- it's one of the crazy 5 string conversion bridges. A couple of the saddle height adjusters appear to be bust -- I managed to get the screws out, but I had to force them and screws that work in the other saddles won't go in, despite working fine in their own slot. I assume this means the thread on the saddle itself is damaged, and simply replacing the screw is unlikely to help. Is there any way of fixing that, short of replacing the entire saddle? Cheers.

KingBollock Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 You need to find out what the thread is, size and pitch, then get the relevant tap set. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Flute-0-5mm-Taper-Metric-Pitch/dp/B00MJSGCL2/ref=sr_1_1?s=diy&ie=UTF8&qid=1429142160&sr=1-1&keywords=m3+0.5+tap http://www.amazon.co.uk/Toolzone-M3-Ratchet-T-Handle-Wrench/dp/B002NH2CXG/ref=pd_bxgy_diy_text_z I haven't tried the ratchet handle, but I have just bought the tap set to replace the worn out ones from my big tap and die set.

velvetkevorkian Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 Is this something a tech would be able to do as a matter of routine, then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
