Warwick 3d Bridge position

[koshey]

Hi guys,

Let me ask for you opinions here.
I was at the guitar service center to get my old warwick adjusted and so on.
What are you thoughts in the following? Is this even legal?))
Or this happens due to the body shape?

If that is where it needs to be for the setup you want then it is fine. There is another base-plate embedded in the body. The body itself plays no part in the stability or acoutic coupling of the moveable (visible) part. The two are held together with 6 screws - 4 to adjust height/angles and 2 for locking down.
That said, if you want to close that gap you could raise the saddles and lower the main bridge plate.

And if it's a bolt on neck bass you can shim the neck to get the strings closer to the body= bridge lower in the body.

Looks okay to me unless I'm mis-understanding the question. We set the profile with the individual string saddles and string height via the huge brass block....it's actually a back 'n forth balance between the two. Body shape doesn't fold-in to the equation.

This is something you can really do on your own.

You mean that it is sticking up with a gap on the one side? Not a problem with the way those bridges are made. If you take the top of the bridge apart you’d see how they are held up. There are four large screws holding it against another metal plate. Much more metal than what holds the little saddles up on anything

hey guys, thanks a lot! yes that was about the gap between the body and a bridge from one side.
I've never met Warwicks before and was a bit confused.
so thanks a lot.
