    SUB Bridge Problems

    Ok, my g string is giving me troubles. the saddle keeps lowering itself, and i have to adjust the action about once every 2 weeks, and i am tired of it, so im guessing i need to replace it.

    yeah, i have been working alot the last week, and when i wasnt working, i was out with my friends, and i picked my bass up today for the first time in a week, and the g string was on the fretboard. like completely lowered.


    i have seen a few used MusicMan bridges on ebay, but i dont want a piece of crap that has been shined up.

    I looked at Badass bridges, and it had the three holes in similar placement to the holes on my bridge. but i cant find a place other than ebay that sold them.

    I could get a Badass II bridge, but i would have to drill holes for it.


    yeah, i dont really know what to do.

    Replacing the whole bridge seems a bit excessive, you could just replace the saddle.

    Have you contacted EB customer services?

    hmm, that does seem cheaper and much easier.

    I havent contacted them yet, but I will.


    EDIT: I just called them, and talked to someone, and he told me to put loctite on the threading.

    Thanks jongitarz for sugesting loctite.
