Howddy.
What kind of bridge has it got?
Is it the Gibson style "3 point" or what?

[steve-soar]

If it's a vintage style Tbird, you can use a large bladed screwdriver to lower the whole of the bridge via the 3 big screws that it is suspended on, slacken off your strings first and try half a turn at a time.
You need to turn the screws so they go into the body.

Might also need a truss rod tweak, if there is too much forward relief in the neck. The latest Bass Guitar Magazine has a pretty good "How To" guide. If in any doubt, seek the advice of a local, reputable shop that does repairs.
