Cort A6/Hipshot bridge adjustment

[RobJF]

Hi guys, I recently got a 2010 vintage Cort A6, which I'm very happy with, except that the intonation is out (sharp at fret 12) on the lower three strings.

I could probably guess what the answer's going to be, but I've never done any adjustment to any bridge before, and I can't find instructions for this one on the web, so I'm a bit wary of diving in.

So the question is: how exactly do I go about adjusting this bridge for intonation?

Loosen one of the strings in question to the point where you can move it out of the way. Then see how the saddle works. It looks to me to be some kind of locking saddle so in order to move it you'll have to loosen a screw then move it by hand to the desired position.

There's usually an adjustment screw running from the point where the string appears at the bridge.

If your intonation is sharp then you need to turn the screw clockwise - this will pull the saddle further from the neck and lengthen the distance between the 12th fret and the saddle.

If your intonation is flat then you need to turn the screw anti-clockwise - this will push the saddle closer to the neck and shorten the distance between the 12th fret and the saddle.

Loosen the black screw on the saddle of the sharp string, then move it away from the neck. I'll attach a really good guide for setting up basses.

Thanks a lot guys, especially for that great guide!
