Soundgear with Non-Adjustable saddles

Sign in to disble this ad
I was playing a show Friday, and one of the sound guy's assistants came up to me (with his bass) to ask me if I had any advice on adjusting his action. The bass was an Ibanez Soundgear, and the odd thing was the saddles themselves were non-adjustable. It looked as if, below the saddles was a plate that COULD be adjustable, but there were no screws in the three holes (I believe there were two holes on the E side, and one on the G side, ala tripod). Is this in fact how to set string height on this bass? It was dark, I was supposed to be soundchecking, and he didn't know the model number, or I would be more specific.

Also suggested he visit the forums, so if you are reading this, welcome

I looked through several generic adjustment documents on the Ibanez site, and didn't see anything that looked like this, so I suppose it COULD be non-original, but it didn't look it if so. The next question I suppose would be, if this IS what I was seeing, do they have a standard thread gauge?

Its probably a accu-cast bridge. There are 2 Allen screws on the bottom of the bridge and maybe one or two at the top. Those adjust the bridge while there are long screws with springs on the back of the saddles. Those are the saddle adjustments that move them back and forth on the bridge.
