niceguyhomer Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I discovered that the string saddles on Spector bridges should be at the same (but opposite) angle as the headstock. Mine weren't so I adjusted 'em. Bloody hell - I can't get over the difference a simple adjustment can make to the tone and sustain. Just thought I'd share that revelation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDM Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I've been [i]trying[/i] to adjust mine like that for a while now but the bridge on my Spector must hate me or something, because it's horrible to adjust. Once it's locked it stays put and works perfectly but I don't like the fact that all the saddles can move when you are adjusting one of them..... by the way, did you do it to the angle at which the headstock is angled back from the neck or the angle of the strings over the nut?

It's all in [url="http://www.spectorbass.com/pdfs/OwnersManualSpector2005.pdf"]here[/url] chaps. It took a little getting used to, but I love it now - more than a standard bridge.
