fretmeister Posted January 27 Posted January 27 The bridge crews on my bitsa stick out a lot. What is the best way to cut them down? Hacksaw? Dremel type thing? ta Quote
Hellzero Posted January 27 Posted January 27 (edited) Which screws ? The ones for the bridge itself or the saddle height screws ? Edited January 27 by Hellzero Quote
franzbassist Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Surely it's easier to just buy new? They are cheap as chips! 3 Quote
Bigguy2017 Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Like franzbassist said, best is to buy a selection of screws in Long, Med, Short. Do the bass setup and when you're happy, replace the screws with ones of best length - keep the 'wrong uns' for later use. This plan works best when you have many basses using the same type of screws... 1 Quote
fretmeister Posted January 27 Author Posted January 27 I had no idea that shorter ones could be purchased! So obvious! If anyone has a link before I trust google that would be very useful. Quote
fretmeister Posted January 27 Author Posted January 27 Also - WTF can measure anything in imperial? What the smeg is a 32nd of an inch? 2 Quote
Hellzero Posted January 27 Posted January 27 Welcome to the world of instruments made in the USA or anywhere in the world. 0,79375 is the answer, and not 42. 🤣 3 Quote
fretmeister Posted January 27 Author Posted January 27 No wonder most of my instruments are German or Japanese! Quote
