Gotoh Bridge

[FaBu-]

I bought a Gotoh bridge for my Fender Jazz yesterday... Otherwise it's a great bridge, but even when I lowered the saddles as low as possible, the action is a bit high for my taste... So is there anything I can do?
BTW it's not possible to cure this problem by adjusting the thruss rod, because my neck is (almost) straight already... Please help me

Thanks!

Actually, I just put a Gotoh on my Fender Jazz Fretless... and its low as hell. Id say its your bass, not the bridge.

You might need to shim the neck.

I had the same problem with a Gotoh 201 on a Fender Jazz. I worked around it by using the saddles from the original Fender bridge; they're a hair smaller in diameter and it made the difference.

Half-a**ed, I know, but whatever works.

I actually have a picture (I sold the bass on eBay). I also had La Bella Super Steps on it. I honestly can't recall if I needed to have an exposed core G (to get the string lower). I don't think so...
