Ken told me that I'd have to measure it since they are different lengths but since it's missing, I can't. Does anyone know what length would go on the "D" string saddle and what size allen key will fit?
I can then go to a machine shop or call Ken back, set my bass up and finally play!
Thanks.

Ok, each saddle has 2 screws to raise and lower. Are you missing both or just one of them? If one, then pull the other one out and measure it. I don't recall if you mentioned what string it was for. I can also look at a Bridge here but I asked for the sized probably because of that. The Allen key is .050" for the bridge height screws.
