Page 2 has all the bridge stuff on it.

 

The bridge in the manual isn't the same as mine, that's why I'm asking!

[fretmeister]

Doh!

 

Is yours a California 1?

 

I think your numbering is correct. 4 is the only one with the right angle to put pressure on the sideways movement of the saddle and 5 seems to be aiming at the side of the bridge block to allow / prevent movement by the entire saddle unit.

 

5 isn't just intonation - it should be loosened off when doing height adjustments as well.

No its an electra VS4, I think one of the earlier ones that are Fender shaped

Following this as I’m in the same boat. - missing saddle screw.

You could give me one of yours then my bass would be perfect and you just need 2 screws. 

Worth a try.

Loving my Sandberg SL’s, my back and overall gigging stamina has vastly improved since going ultra lightweight. Despite some initial tonal reservations with the lighter bodies I have to say I am actually really digging the tone lots, especially in the live mix, great presence.

 

Sadly the Custom Classic Booster on the far right will eventually be up for sale when I bring myself to it, its a real cracker yet despite only being 8lbs in weight, its just a little on the heavier side for me now...Guess this makes me a Sandberg SL convert!

I'm a big SL fan too. They're XSL when they're short-scale like mine 🙂

If I wasn't blue, this would be my chosen colour! So beautiful. And you got 2x the knobs!
