Bought a Rockbag double gigbag and Badass bridge off Andy - the bag shipped so quickly (next day) that I doubt many stores could match it, and the bridge wasn't much slower, both in perfect nick. Thanks!

Thanks for all your comments.

[quote name='icastle' post='1163581' date='Mar 15 2011, 07:55 PM']No reason not to use threadlock, but I suspect that if the saddle is dropping then the thread is so badly worn that threadlock isn't going to help you. I'd be more inclined to work out whats happening and fix it rather than use workarounds.[/quote] Hmm, I think it's unlikely to be that worn, as the bridge is reasonably new. Could it be as a result of bad technique? As I say, I'm newish to this, and I do have a tendency to dig in quite a lot - could this be pulling the string and causing the saddle to move?

Hi all. Newbie lurker for a while, mainly in the classifieds, but I've been having a slight problem and wondered whether any of youse luvverly people might be able to help? I have what is now effectively a Mex Standard Jazz (it's a bitsa bought off here but the bits all add up to a Standard). I recently had it set up and fitted with new strings, and it's a beaut. However, pre and post setup I noticed that the E-string saddle seems to lower itself progressively on the grubscrews, to the point that the E-string buzzes constantly. At first I just thought it was my lousy noob technique, but I just compared the E-string with the rest of the saddles, and its way down. A few turns to get it back up, and job's a good-un. My question, however, is this: Is it feasible/realistic/a good/bad idea to use some kind of fixative on the saddle grub screw - for example, a light threadlock, or some of the missus's nail varnish, just to 'freeze' the saddle in place on the threads? Or am I asking for a lot of trouble down the line and should I just put up with it? Cheers in advance.

Hi; Looking for someone in Birmingham, preferably South Brum - Moseley, Kings Heath etc - who can teach funk, jazz and slap. It's got to be evenings only - I've got no chance of daytime, so that seemingly rules out Steve Amadeo. I know the basics of reading, but haven't got a clue about bass clef - 18 years as a drummer have left me unable to read melodic scores! - so experience of teaching sight reading would be great. Any thoughts?
