CyP Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 I would appreciate guidance regarding setting string intonation on a solid brass Vester bass bridge. A photograph is attached and as shown there are no screw threads to move the saddles backwards or forwards. Maybe it is achieved by turning one of the allen screws on each saddle but that does not seem logical? Looking forward to some knowledge on this, please. Quote
stu_g Posted December 29, 2019 Posted December 29, 2019 It may be there is a screw in the side of the bridge which locks the saddles in place? Quote
Bigguy2017 Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 That's weird... if you slacken a string does the saddle slide fore and aft? Quote
BigRedX Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 I've had a bass with a similar design bridge. This had an allen key screw on the side of the bridge that when loosened allowed the saddles to be moved by hand. Quote
andyhaines Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 I have the bubinga version of this bass, exactly the same bridge -yes there’s a small allen key screw on the top and bottom of the bridge. Loosen these up then move your saddle pieces and tighten again. Andy Quote
CyP Posted December 30, 2019 Author Posted December 30, 2019 Now I get it! Thanks to all who have explained this to me. Very much appreciated. Quote
