Hi, I am a newq guy to this site and I have 1993 Blues king which needs a bit of work, the bridge is really too low to be of any use, especially on the terble side of things, and it has a fishman pick up unders the saddle.
I want to change the saddle ideally, its really sloppy in the slot and I have packed it so it sits vertically, but its a poor contact with the bridge and pick up I think as the volume seems well down.
So, it all original apart from the fishman and ideally I would like to order a saddle replacement that I can pretty much fit in after adjusting the height. I live in the UK so its not as easy as ordering from the usual excelent suppliers you guys have. Any thoughts on a new saddle and pins?
Also, I ahve been using 11's for quite a while, but they do lack power so I have changed them for some 12's until I get the saddle sorted. Any recomendations? Its sounds as dull as ditch water with Phoshor Bronze so I am looking to brighten it up a bit, I have 80/20 Martins in for now.
Any thoughts would be most welcome, I do play live quite a bit and I love the original tone of the Blues King, it always attracts comments but I am sure can sound a whole lot better.
Thanks
