| | | | Schecter Elite 5 action setup? I'm trying to raise the action but don't know where on the bass to do it. Most basses have a place where I can use a Allen wrench but Its either not there or I can't seem to find it? Thanks |

Here is the bridge- it's not the Philip screw under the string is it? I prob will take it somewhere but I'm just trying to figure it out. |

| | | | Ok thanks guys I thought that black piece might be it but wasn't sure. It just seems like a rather unique way to adjust the action compared to other basses |
