bad ass ii adjustment

Sign in to disble this ad
Just got my hands on a Fender Geddy Lee equipped with a BAII bridge. The problem is that the action on the E string is a bit too low and is clipping on the 20th fret at times. My terribly noobish question is: how do you adjust the height on the BAII? Do I rotate the horizontal screw clockwise or counter clockwise?

You must use a tiny Allen key to turn the two tiny screws which are holding up the saddle. Turn them whichever way makes the saddle go down closer to the body.

Cool

I put one on my Jazz bass. You need to go clockwise on the two little set screws.
