Is it me, or does it look like the E string is pushed over a little too far before it goes into the nut, almost like the tuner is off or something? I know they do a little because the string is bigger.

that's just how it is on this bass. I do notice in that last shot of the headstock that the g string is a bit off.

the only thing that needs work (aside from intonnation being set) is the grounding. it still buzzes a bit.

The G string is off because of the string retainer. Push it a little further under the retainer, maybe?
