Need help w/my Fender Geddy Lee please!

How do you adjust the saddles on the Badass II bridge without having to take the saddle and strings off? A .5 allen wrench apparently isn't small enough and it's so much trouble having to remove/replace the strings every time I want to raise or lower the action. Thanks for any help.

Yeah, I noticed that with mine too. I have two sets of allen wrenches, one metric, one standard (english). Get one of those and use a smaller allen wrench or take your bass to the HW store and try out some allen wrenches.

You may get more responses if you post in one of the bass-guitar forums rather than the amps forum.

I don't remember off-hand, sorry . I believe it was a metric wrench though. I had an english one that fit as well, just not as snugly. I'd pull it out and find it if I was at home...

Try http://www.leoquan.com If you take your bass anywhere to have it sized, get them to size those irritating hex screws that hold the knobs on at the same time!
