Warwick owners, a bit of help please :)

[Gigel]

Now this might seem like a dumb question, probably is.. but still.. I own a '08 Corvette Ash 5 string and I've got a question about the Warwick 2 piece bridge.
Which way are you supposed to turn the "floating" bridge adjustment screws to lower the bridge? For example am I supposed to turn all four adjustment screws clockwise, or counter-clockwise, or two this way and the other two that way ..how do you adjust your Warwick? I mean I simply don't get it help please

Looking at my FNA, IIRC the larger two allens at each end of the bridge lock/unlock the bridge & the four smaller ones raise & lower it, as well as making small adjustments to the angle of the bridge relative to the bass' body. Turning the 4 smaller allens counterclockwise should lower it. DO NOT try to raise or lower it w/o being certain that it is unlocked.

Ok, thanks for the quick reply, but another question, should the screws recess in the body, or work their way up when I turn them counterclockwise?

On the four smaller screws that are at the corners of the bridge(looking straight at/down at the bass),they should come up/out of the bridge as you turn them counterclockwise- I believe. If something feels tight, DO NOT force it. I'll fiddle w/mine & get back to you.

Edit: OK- insert a 2.5mm allen wrench into the locking screw; of the 3 at each end of the bridge, it's the one in the middle. Loosen both of them, then raise or lower the bridge w/the 4 at the corners. Turning clockwise should raise it; going counterclockwise should of course have the opposite effect. If this does not seem to make perfect sense it would not hurt to go to a good luthier. Also read all you can about general setup, both here & elsewhere. Any little adjustment you make will affect everything else to some extent.

Ok thanks a lot man, you helped me a bunch yeah that's why I was asking about the screws, cause some of them seemed a bit tight, and I was afraid to force anything, anyway I usually loosen and pull out the two locking screws before I try to adjust the height, I hope that's not a bad idea

[bassteban]

Yes, on the individual saddles, you need to loosen the locking allen before trying to adjusting height.

Got it setup just how I wanted it, heh got my love back it was just one screw which was kinda stuck so one corner of the bridge was kinda high, I put just a bit more push into it, it gave in and now she's setup wonderfully.
Thanks for your input man
