TB-4 Bass first time build

[Rabbit]

Firstly the 3 point bridge seems really high making the action way to high. 3mm at first fret and 11mm at the neck.I think I might have installed the bridge incorrectly but I am not sure. There seemed to be only one way of doing it. The central pin seems way too high so even adjusting the rear pins seems to make not material difference. Any ideas.

The 3 point bridge shows up on a number of kits. In my case it was the EX-4. I'm surprised that you can't get those screws to go down ant further. The holes for the posts in mine were about 6 mm or more deeper than the posts, so when I went to install the posts, I used one of those screws to get the posts down, and the screws went all the way in, tight against the post heads. The other thing I did was I counter sunk the post holes so the post heads were flush with the surface of the body. The main reason for this is because I was using the Babicz bridge, which is designed to have full contact with the body.

Thanks for the reply. Yes the back pots can screw dow further than shown but it is the front post that seems to be dictating everything. The holes that came with the kit were not countersunk and the base screw has a lip on it. The lip covers the edge of the hole I suppose so makes it neat. This means the bottom of the post is up at least 3mm . It also has a lip which I have screwed hard down as far as it goes. The centre receiving socket only fits the centre post (which is smooth like a bolt). The lower threaded section is too wide in diameter to fit the socket. I presumed the kit would be correct and I was wrong. Countersinking is going to be tricky. Does this type of bridge not need to float above the body anyway? I get the feeling this is the wrong type of bridge for this application...but I am a first time builder! Who knows. Pitbull?
