    bass feels and sounds different

    my Fender persission is just feeling different! Lately i tune up using a t-u2 tunner. i check to make sure its in tune with open notes then 12th freet! but when playing it sounds a little out of tune. Its this a intonation problem or just my old ears messing with me?
