New Build HD4 Bass

[GreyFloyd]

Hi again folks; made some progress with body, fitting pickups, pickguard, tailpiece and strap pins yesterday. Today did some minor soldering and fitted control panel and output jack. Next question re the bridge (you can tell I haven't met something like this before!). My second pic shows the adjusters, one end is 'open' and the other 'closed' with a bit of bevel. Which way should these be inserted into the lower bridge piece? Does the 'closed' end with the bevel go into the bottom piece and if so should I attempt to screw it in or tap with a mallet (it is very difficult to screw it in without damaging the thread if I hold it with a set of pliers). It's a very tight fit.

H. Which way should these be inserted into the lower bridge piece?

You will see that the open end is in fact an allen screw. you can use an allen key to screw the posts into the part of the bridge that sits against the body. the bridge with the saddles just slips over the posts.

Brilliant - my eyes are not what they once were! Thanks Rabbit.
