Thanks everyone for you feedback. I have improved the intonation by moving the string lengths back as far as they would go and that has helped a lot. I have re-witnessed all the strings (new to me, but hey, we’re all learning). It’s now very close to being in tune thru the scale. I’m surprised...

Yes. I would except the bridge is glued. I tried lowering the bridge, didn’t help and only got fret noise. I can lower the strings individually… but that would be very minimal.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry - the harmonic at the 12th is in tune.

Help! I cannot get the freted notes on the bass in tune. Octaves are good, but any fretted notes are very sharp. Is it the set up? Too much pressure on the strings? (Although I use very little pressure) Any suggestions would be appreciated.
