As mentioned I was just waiting for confirmation that she was definitely sold to one of the people trying to work it out and now I can say officially...she is on hold pending payment...You heard it first here...Looks like she is headed across the pond to the UK...

:hyper: :cool: :D :crying:

I am both happy and sad about that actually!

Peace,

Love my KBP5, but not sure how I feel about the vintage bridge just yet. Anybody else notice the B saddle wanting to move around a bit?

My problem is with the G and B strings. Jimmy asked me to apply some blue loctite on the screw threads suppose to solve the problems. I noticed that some of the classic bridges have flat head screw adjustments and not the allen key type. The latter kind doesn't seem to have the problem.

Anybody else care to add their experience?

I also applied a touch of blue loctite to the threads and that solved the up and down (screws rotating on there own) problem but being that there are no channels for the bass of the screws to sit in the saddles still move side to side slightly...

this issue can occur in the old fender style bridges as well.
it only takes a tiny bit of locktite to resolve it.
use only blue! red locktite requires heat to break the bond.

I have the hipshot bridge and have absolutely no string alignment or saddle height issues whatsoever, and it's really easy and quick to change strings without scratching the body, too. :smug: ;)

Yeah, thats the problem. The move side to side. I really only notice it on the B string. You can see the B doesn't quite line up with the pole pieces. The B barrel is also not touching the E barrel.
