No inserts under there. The two back mounting screws are big and beefy and go directly into the wood. I've never heard of them pulling out. Granted, they really shouldn't be adjusted, so if somebody has a habit of disassembling their bass regularly, I could see them pulling out eventually. Even then though, I would venture to say that the majority of the pull on the bridge is not up, but rather forward, toward the headstock. In that regard, if anything, the string pull should help the screws keep a good hold and not pull out, right?
The front two bolt (whether phillips or allen) are the intended points of adjustment. Those have a flat, rectangular plate of metal underneath, that gives the height adjusters a good hard surface to push up off of. This plate is fastened by two small wood screws and underneath is the ground wire.
Thanks for sharing this, very useful
