Double Bass full circle question

[joel kelsey]

Hi all,

I am trying out a full circle right now and I ahve a question abou the adjusters. Right now I have one full circle adjuster on the e side and I have the regular adjuster on the g side. Since the full circle adjuster is thicker than my regular adjusters, should I have the full circle adjusters on both sides? I am taking my bass to a luthier tomorrow for adjustments and I don't know what to do aboiut the adjuster situation. Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance

The Full Circle comes with a matching adjust for the treble side. I'd use it.

I've got a mismatched setup like yours. It hasn't caused any trouble so far. Had it that way for about a year.

the full circle's adjustment wheels are so nice i dont see why you wouldn't want to use it.

I leave mine OFF. You can't really tell that they're 2 different adjusters just by looking, anyway. The FC adjuster is a tiny bit bigger (and alot easier to crank). My luthier had to widen the hole in the bridge foot (opposite the threads) just a little for the adjuster to fit. I keep the extra one "just in case" something goes wrong with the pickup. I can throw on the other adjuster and send the pickup to get fixed (if need be).
