Specifically, is there a way to (at least temporarily) remove the lever? I play with a pick, and wear the bass fairly low-slung. The lever, even pushed in, is just protruding enough to be in the way. So, just looking to see if anyone knows the best way to remove the lever.

Thanks much!

Andy

I believe if you remove the bridge you can take it out the bottom easily. I repaired one once ages a ago, but I don't recall there being much to it.

Isn't there a screwed-on steel plate on the underside of the cast bridge holding the parts in place. TJR

There's a screw (actually a hex wrench screw) on the back of the bass, inset into the wood directly below the back of the bridge. However, after trying to unscrew the front screws of the bridge, and the one I just mentioned, the bridge won't budge. It seems there's a trick to removing the whole thing...which, sadly, I I haven't figured our yet!
