That being said, I know nothing about vintage Fenders.

But what an awesome lookin' bass! |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: NOVA | | | Beautiful bass. As mentioned earlier. I would ask about the E string bridge saddle. What would be the purpose of having it set so far back unless, that is how far back it needed to be to intonate the E string? It shouldn't need to be that far back.

Thats definitely happened to me before, never on that style bridge, but i've seen it happen. |
