Thanks for the kind words Philipp.

Nice photography, BTW!

Thanks!

Now, a brief feedback:
Tightening the saddle screw worked quite well. I had to detach the bridge though, in order to hold the aircraft nut firmly. As Jimmy, I used a small channel-lock plier for that. For the other end I used a 7/64 hex key. Moreover, I applied a bit of cleaner on the aircraft nut to make it go easier - that also helped with the procedure.

I can still move the saddle for adjustment, but the saddle is not wiggling anymore while playing - so the job was successful

Thank again for all you helpful advice.

Best,
Philipp

That's great to hear.  Did the clanking from playing with your thumb stop too?

Ken

Yay!  Excellent work and a good result.  Now enjoy playing that bass!

Jimmy J

Definitely! That bass always gives me pure joy

@Ken: Yep. No more clanking!
