monkey_dancer Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) The bridge saddles on my MIM Jazz often get lower when I play hard. It's not gradual, they just jump downwards to a lower position. This must be due to either the screws or the saddles (or both) having a bad thread, but what should I do? Get new saddles and screws? And where would I get them? I've tried a little bit to search on the internet with no results. Just get a new bridge? If I did this I would definitely get a better bridge, like maybe a Badass? People seem to like those? Thanks! Edited November 16, 2009 by monkey_dancer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Saddles: [url="http://www.axesrus.com/axehardware.htm#Saddles"]http://www.axesrus.com/axehardware.htm#Saddles[/url] (look for "£2.30 EACH CHROME BASS SADDLES A OR B") For a new bridge, a Gotoh 201 would be less hassle than a Badass, no need to cut saddles. If you play as hard as you suggest, saddle cutting would be an absolute necessity on a Badass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Tut Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Or try a tiny dab of loctite on the saddle screw threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey_dancer Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 I went on that same site and didn't find any. *facepalm* Since those saddles are so brilliantly cheap I'll order some right now! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
