Fullcircle Replacement Adjusters

[jmmcc]

THat's it.
I'm searching for bridge adjusters that could replace or be replaced by the Fishman Fullcircle Pickup
Any help would be truly appreciated
Best regards

Bob Gollihur, Mike Pecanic, Upton Bass and Metropolitan Music all offer aluminium adjusters with 1/4-20 threads to match a 1/4-20 Full Circle. Be aware that the Full Circle also comes in 5/16-18 and 6 x 1mm thread pitches...

Thanks Jake.
3 different types of threads?
Now i have another problem, i don't know mine

[jmmcc]

I've found the pickup box.
Nothing is written in the box about the threads
on the instructions it say's that it is a 1/4-20 retro-fit.
I guess i should trust the instructions, this is one of the very first ones, maybe from the first year of production.
I don't know if Fishman started making the 3 kind of threads right away or if the others are more recent
any help?
Best Regards

It would be 1/4-20 take it to a hardware store and let them match it if you want to be sure. These adjusters are plentiful. You should not have a problem finding them. Any Bass shop would have them. Curious-why don't you want to use the Full Circle adjusters, or, are you going to use them and the pick up on another bass?

Hi Wayne

I love the Fullcircle, no question about it, but I'll explain what's happening:
My Bass is going to have a new fingerboard and bridge.
Now i have a Fullcircle installed but in the last 3 or 4 months, i've been using a Schertler Dyn-B all the time.
I guess i'm in the beginning of the "only mic" journey too.
I've never heard my bass with a massive bridge before.
So I guess i will ask my Luthier to put a massive bridge first.
My bass is very stable regarding climatic changes but if i get to the conclusion that i really need adjusters i would like to have the option to put some adjusters that would let me throw the fullcircle in, if for some reason i start missing the fullcircle.
My Luthier didn't guarantee me that it would have compatible adusters (now i understand why) so i started searching.

Best Regards

Sounds like they are 1/4-20 then. All of those online vendors will have them in stock - heck, I have them in stock - but they'll be able to send you a pair.

And there's a guy on Malta with a 1/4-20 tap if/when you need one!

Yes
I've heard that there's a quite famous car mechanic that stock some hard to find tools over there, isn't it?

Maybe.... I recently sent a tap to Adrian in Malta so he could install his adjusters - I don't really know what he does for a living.
