Ibby Musician Bridge Saddle Key Size

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi there, im wondering if anyone could tell me the size of the allen key needed to adjust the saddles on a original Ibenez Musician bass form about the late 70's. Its the big chunky brass one.

Thanks in advance.

Works on mine, and I just measured the key. Definitely 1.5mm (across flats). Perhaps the key holes are full of gunk and/or corrosion, these are pretty old basses by now.

Also this will be metric for sure, I would imagine the next size is 1mm.
