Jay Turser Beatle Bass bridge

[JimmyM]

I just got my Turser bass today, and I have a question about the bridge. Do those saddles come out and allow you to put them in different slots or do you just move the bridge around until you've achieved a pretty good compromise?

The saddles are just pieces of fretwire. I imagine you could pull them out, but fretwire has barbs on the part that goes in the slot (to hold it in,) and they'll probably tear the wood of the bridge up if you try it.

The way I have always intonated floating bridges like that is to move the bridge until the E and G are right. The A and D will probably be pretty close at that point.

Thanks dude. Looks like I won't need to move them. It actually intonates well. I can even play chords past the 12th fret!
