That concerned me with the VP too, but was told it’s normal.
Sí, tortilla española
What are @Chucky Stiletti and I supposed to do with all our free time? Not traveling with any basses.
That reminds me-time for this again:What are @Chucky Stiletti and I supposed to do with all our free time? Not traveling with any basses.
that was the influence….the British were/are part of the fabric here…… built all the railroads …..highly respected round these parts…

I love such - I bought this tchotchke in Carpinteria a few years ago from an antique shop. Like the one you posted - remarkable deafness of detail -

They're not the same pickups at all, I much prefer the Gibson, through my rig they're fuller sounding with much better lo mids and bass, a bit less top zing. Over all I like them, not as much as my '64s, the Lull or Greco though.
I just used a well fitting, sharp slotted screwdriver on the screw head and a wrench on the nut end. Mine didn't give me any trouble. There is some resistance by design due to the interference thread.
I would suggest holding the screwdriver still and turning the nut with the wrench. Work it back and forth some, a little further each time.
There is less chance of the screwdriver slipping and damaging the slot in the head if you are just holding it in place and applying the torque from the wrench.
Don't go crazy and crank on it, it's still a small screw. I have a lot of experience with the feel of how much to give it before it breaks. I would try each one and see if one or a few goes easier to maybe get a feel for how it comes apart on an easier one.

FYI - once you see that attempting to post has stalled and repeated (numerous times...) - quickly delete posts other than the original. However, this option may only be available to 'supporting members' and above.
I guess another thing to consider is that others have said someone broke a screw trying to get theirs apart. I don't know what caused that. I don't know if there is something different done to some bridges. Mine came apart reasonably easy.
I would stop short of breaking anything if it's not gonna come apart. It looks like it would work to flip the whole bridge around. The shape of the slope towards the tailpiece on the saddles would be backwards but look like they would still work.
That’s an individual setup issue. Maybe he likes to dig into the strings. That forces the low end string higher.
That’s what I’m hearing with mine as well, just wasn’t sure if it was because of the different strings and pickup placement that I have on the Gibby NR vs the Eppi VP.
So far I think I’m liking the Gibby pickup a bit more. Warmer and deeper but still good detail on the top end.
After all my blender and low pass filter experiments I found a pedal that would do it all:

Very handy. The HPF in the effect loop (affects the signal before the effect) could come handy with the 12-string bass.
Of course it's out of stock. Oh well.
Maybe somebody will trade his/hers to a one hot overdrive pedal that is "the s*!t" at the moment...

The Epiphone 760 Probuckers are stamped as such on the back. The Gibson units are unmarked and most likely built by Seymour Duncan. They are clearly made in different locations just by looking at the tooling and manufacturing techniques. I prefer the Epiphone 760s they are hotter and grittier, the Gibsons are more docile. I put 760s in my 2021 Inverness Green Nonreverse and I've left my Sparkling Burgundy one stock.

You should consider Damnation Audio's Dirtfixer, which I think is replacing their Loop Blender (Bloop).After all my blender and low pass filter experiments I found a pedal that would do it all:

Looks interesting 'though an EQ is not the first thing I'd look for in a blender. But I'll wait for more info.
And I can still enjoy the blending system I have currently which works and sounds great. At least I should. I might even try to play the overdrive on all the time and see if I get any complaints. One day I'll form a band where I can do so.
That is a bit too expensive for me and I prefer a lower roll off than 1khz. It is small and the phase shift is a plus.
