Just as a final word here, the supplied saddles are perfect. They are an exact match to the originals right down to Ibanez moulded into their shank like the top two items in the picture above. However, the height adjusting screws are much smaller so be warned, the screws are not swappable...

Of course, I could have removed one and just taken it to a hardware outlet just as you suggest Jeff but I didn't have the guitar with me, it was with its owner. A week later and I now have the item with me. I was absolutely wrong with the model, my apologies for that. It is actually a SDGR...

I found this picture online of the same style bridge. Thought it might make things a bit more clear.

Hi. I'm not a bassist so please be gentle with me! Our bassist is using an old Ibanez SDGR, I think 885, with Fender Precision style "2 screw and bar " type saddles. Somehow he has managed to lose one of the height adjusting screws. It explains a lot of the sounds we hear when he plays. I'm...

Just to round this thread off. Ashdown got back to me on Tuesday. Prompt or what? They were extremely helpful and supplied me straight off with the correct schematic for the Mk1. It's pretty much standard for all of them I think but it was from the horse's mouth. Yes, it's a fairly frill...

Yes, I'm a UK guy anyway Eccles. Easter Bank Holiday only covers the long weekend of Good Friday and Easter Monday so anytime after that. I have been assured that Ashdown support is second to none so I'm pretty confident they will at least get back to me quickly. The amp is a legacy one so I...

I messaged Ashdown yesterday through their site explaining where I am sitting but they haven't had a chance to reply yet. I'll keep you up to date with anything that comes back. In the meantime I managed to get a copy of the Mk2 schematics and they are indeed Class A/B just as you all said...

Thanks for the advice Jim. Glad to hear the Ashdown has good support. I'm genuinely hoping that this is a standard Class A/B type as that is easily fixable no matter what. I have worked on Class D before but it is a pain in the rear with its wound components and even active digital parts...

Can anyone help with any info on this early version of the ABM Evo please? I have a guy who is suffering with his Evo Mk1 overheating and I have tried everywhere to get even basic info on the circuit. He is trying all of the obvious things like cleaning heatsinks and fans, checking both fans...
