Bad Ass II Saddle Height Adjusters

Sign in to disble this ad
I bought a used Tobias Standard, and whoever had it before put a Bad Ass II bridge on it. On the low B, one of the saddle height adjustment screw thingies is stripped--a hex wrench just spins in it instead of adjusting that side of the saddle up and down.

Can you get just those adjustment screws from anywhere? If not, any ideas how I can fix it?

The ..."screw thingies"... are 4-40 set screws, available at any decent hardware store.

Loosen the strings before adjusting. Most likely, the previous owner adjusted the saddles under tension and stripped the socket.

Awesome, thanks! I should be able to get the bad one out with some needle-nose pliers, a fair bit of it is sticking up from the bridge.
