true for the 4s, not remotely true for the 5s, especially the mexis and imports. luckily this one had comparable saddle spacing and worked out pretty well.

Thanks for the tip. Glad I looked, as 3 out of the 4 screws were loose, possibly from the "tech" when he originally fitted the bridge.... This bass was always my "reserve" bass, so never really played it after getting it back from him to notice. Anyway, the bass is good to go now, so once again, thanks guys!
