My P-Bass Special pickups can be pushed in. Not a problem on the P-Bass, just means that they have been adjusted properly.

I would leave it alone if your not sure or just give the company you purchased from a quick call...

although, I am sure someone will respond shortly saying it's not a problem.

The point being is leave them alone until you hear otherwise.

You should be able to move it a little, as long as it's not loose. If you have any issues, you bought this new correct, bring it back to get it ck'd out. Congrats on the new purchase. Welcome to the forums.

That is ok. Some pbass pickups use springs to push the pickups upwards so when you turn the screws down you are actually compressing the little springs . However sometimes instead of springs there could be foam and the foam is a little bit harder to compress than the springs . Or you could have both springs and foam .
