warwick bridge saddles....

Sign in to disble this ad
Anyone know where to get them? Anyone got a spare they could sell me quickly?

Ugh...just got a streamer jazzman 4, and right off the bat I noticed the strings were BEYOND dead. So after less than 5 seconds playing, I pulled them off and walked over to my shelf to grab a fresh pack. Sat down....and noticed the little black saddle part for the A string is missing. It was either shipped to me without one, or I lost it when taking the strings off and walking across the room. I've looked all over and even enlisted the wife trying to find it to no avail.

A US supplier, or a tb'er willing to sell me a spare would be VERY much appreciated....warwick shop wants $60 euro for shipping???? I can't even check out my new bass until I get this thing in where it belongs. What a stupid design, by the way.

Rocket Music may have some available. Give them a try.

The US distributor is Hanser Music, so they may be able to help as well (pulled from Warwick's site).

When I got my thumb the 1st thing I did was take the strings off to boil them and clean them up. ( I have to order the DR strings I want the store didnt have them) I almost lost the little saddle insert of the B string. Luckily I found it on the floor. There should be tiny set screws that keep them in pace once they are adjusted. My bass was missing that 1 set screw.

Had to replace one not too long ago

They're about $3.25 but you gotta pay a handling fee and shipping so for one saddle its gonna be like $20

after you get your new saddle, make sure you lock it down. There is a small set screw that locks down each individual saddle
