Special Edition Build Off - 5 string Modern Walnut/Ash build

Did you get the bridge intonation sorted on those two since that last pic? Just looks way off in the pic but it could be my eyes playing tricks on me.

Yeah the B string is definitely longer in that picture, nice catch. The weld on the truss rod spoke broke on that bass (yuck), so it has more relief than I prefer. I intonated it with the extra relief and that was the result. I’m actually in the process of repairing it now. I removed the fretboard but the Wenge really splintered during removal, so I’m likely making a new neck when I get back from vacation.
