The intonation screws require a fresh #1 phillips head screwdriver with a small shaft. What makes this bridge even more unique is that you can easily change the string spacing of your Warwick bass! You can do this by loosening the allen set screw that locks the saddle insert into the saddle. - Page 7 The Easy Access™ Electronics Compartment If you turn your Warwick bass over and look at the back, you will see Easy Access™ Electronics Compartment. Following the same design logic as the truss rod plate, the electronics cover can be removed without having to mess with tiny screws. You do not even need a screwdriver to remove these plates.

Warwick’s new Just-A-Nut II allows adjustment without the removal of the strings. Simply insert your 1.5mm Allen wrench into the fittings on the top of the nut and raise or lower as needed.
- Page 18 Adjusting Pickup Height The pickups should be set relatively close to the strings for the best tone. The bridge pickup in particular should be set as close as playing style and intonation will allow.
