Setting Intonation
« on: August 03, 2021, 02:58:23 PM »
The intonation on one of the strings on my Epic needs adjustment. I’ve done truss rod adjustments and raised and lowered the bridge but this is the first time I’ve found the need to adjust the intonation. Can anybody tell me what tool(s) I need to get this done?

You need a 7/64 hex key, ball end is recommended. For a list of every tool you could need look here: https://club.alembic.com/index.php?topic=200.0

If you can't find them locally, you can get the tools from our online store: https://alembic.stores.yahoo.net/baforbr.html

First, thank you for the help.
Second, when I click on the link for the online store I get an error message. It says safari cannot find the server. I’d like to get the tool from you so I’ll know it is the right one.

Thanx again-be well

Glad you got through - but honestly there's nothing special about the tools we offer and most hardware stores in the USA have the ball end drivers now. We're happy to get them to you of course!

The ball end tool was perfect. Fixed my intonation problem in a second. Damn it’s easy to work on these basses. Fun, too!

Thanx again
Pete
