Epiphone Jack Cassidy Bass bridhr

Anyone have any experience in lowering the bridge on an Epihone Jack Cassidy Bass?

Yeah. The first thing to do is take the strings off remove each stud and lube them up with a paraffin candle rubbed on the threads. Put them back in and run them down all the way in and out a few timed to distribute the wax. This prevents binding when adjusting in the future. Trust me YOU BEST DO THIS!

Keep track of the saddles and positions because they drop out when no strings are on. They also are different height. String back up.

The two back studs move the bridge up and down. Start on the E side. Get the action set, keeping the bridge level turning all screws the same amount. Once the E is set, set the G side, making sure that you aren't going too low and putting undue strain on the E side stud. Finish it all by moving to the center stud and raising the front of the bridge: I turn it gently just until I can feel it beginning to resist raising: that means the bridge ears are beginning to bind on the rear studs. The bridge must always be slightly angled down toward the rear end. You must do this to keep the string tension from pulling the rear inserts out.

Easier to do than explain but careful study of the components will help you see what I'm saying.
