Fender bridges?

[ExD]

What tool can I use to adjust the action of a Fender bass? What that has a vintage Fender bridge, like the screws on it have one line going across. The only tool I got with my bass was that L-shaped black thing.

I've already adjusted the action by loosening the strings and fiddling with the little screws but I don't want to have to do that everytime. I've also tried using a kitchen knife which worked pretty well but did not get the action high enough.

Thanks

What you need is a precision screwdriver, the kind used on eyeglasses.

Thanks, is that what it's called? Was it supposed to come with the bass? :S

No, they don't come with those bridges.

Damn it

How'd they expect me to adjust the action then?

Oh well, d'you reckon they'll be available at the music store?

Look in a hardware store first...it will cost you half as much and the quality will be better.
