I've just bought a used fretless Essence. I've noticed that the bridge isn't parallel to the body. That is, the front of the bridge (edge nearest the bridge pickup) is about 1-2mm above the body, while the back edge of the bridge is suspended about 3mm above the body. It's a relatively slight difference, but I need to know if I should try to correct it. Is it not on tight enough? Is there a problem because most of the strings require the bridge to be forward for intonation? Any help appreciated. | ||

This sounds fairly normal. If you notice any problems intonating or in playability let me know and we can schedule your bass for a service evaluation. | ||

Great, thanks Mica. It intonates fine, and string heights are fine as well. I was just about to change strings and clean it, so I wanted to know if I should be alarmed by the slight slant. Maybe I should buy a new Essence so I can compare the bridges on them (always looking for an excuse...) :-) Steve |
