Dumb bass bridge question

I had an unused Mosrite bass bridge, still brass, so I disassembled it and gave it to a friend for chrome plating. It turned out great, but I didn't note how it should go back together!

Do the little washers belong under the acorn nuts or under the head of the adjustment screws? The saddles are self explanatory, but I don't remember where the washers were!

thanks in advance!

Thanks Danny! I'm thinking about using it on a bass I'm building. I think it would work pretty good.

Cool bass! Is this one that you are building from scratch or rebuilding an existing guitar?

BTW, where you been hiding?

Hi Danny! I'm building this entirely from scratch with inspiration from an discontinued bass model from the 60's. I have an original Mosrite tail piece too that I might use.

I've been out for quite a bit, focusing on 5-6 projects I have in various stages of development. I sold my parts collection as I just got overwhelmed with all I was trying to do and needed some money. Wish I still had those parts now. Typlical, huh? I might try a Mosrite again sometime, but right now I've got to get all of this other stuff finished first.

I'll be around from time to time. Thanks again for your help!

Bill
