I've never really been that interested in hollow body basses, but this one looks and sounds beautiful: Warwick Star Bass II demonstration - YouTube
Of course it doesn't hurt to have a kick-ass bass player playing it... |

If you get a chance to play one yourself, take it! |

this is not from a Star Bass II, but I think it's the same bridge; looking "from the pickups", you can tell that there is a hex screw that holds the movable part of the saddle in place:
