So a couple of weeks ago I got a brand new Warwick Rockbass Streamer LX. My new strings finally arrived, so I put them on, adjusted the truss rod a couple of times and last night I finally completed setting up the bass to my specs.
I've never seen a bridge like this though and am quite confused with what happened. I'm used to adjusting the string height, by loosening/tightening the two screws on top of the saddles, but as I did this with the Warwick, the saddles actually rocked onto an angle (and for those who don't know these bridges first hand, it's not a simple thing of the two screws being offset from each other). This lowered them to where I wanted, but it also moved the string spacing a tad. Am I doing this wrong? Is there some other way to lower the saddles? There is a set screw on one side of the saddles (on the pickup side) but I didn't bother adjusting these - I figured it was to adjust the saddle laterally, but am not sure.
Thanks,
Matthew
