You must be missing the intonation screws as they would hold the saddles in place.

Okay... im getting pics up now. I think i know what your talking about. And i believe they are there... however... they arent connected to the bridge. they kinda just sit in there. still lifting it up and changing how it sits or whatever you want to call it. But... still not connected.

We've all had weeks like that! I've had more than my share too. And it does suck! The DR's are excellent strings BTW. I've use the High Beams on my OLP Music Man, and Nickel Lo-Riders on my 4003 and both work great.
I recently went back to playing a Rickenbacker bass. Its like meeting an old friend again
