Sure thing Savage! I'm glad it helped - It's amazing what a difference a millimeter or two of space can do.

Cool and keep posting on this forum! you are a great asset here!

While the original may not have had them - I think the screw is mighty good idea.

#1 important thing: Proper DISTANCE to the string. And by distance I mean shortest path. That does not necessarily mean directly under. Sting vibe emanates outward. Not just down.

#2 Be sure to adjust for string arc.

I get the theory in the picture shown with thinner strings meaning closer pieces. But the pic is a little unrealistic when you think about the very slight differences in string guage. I think the arc is a bigger influence.

And while I don't think the slot makes a bit of diffe3rence, I do one of the /\/\ Patterns.

me too! along with the diagram for the heights that was posted by XylemBassGuitar
i am now getting a much better balanced tone so those that say it makes no diff i totally disagree
