    And I think I'll be okay with the intonation adjustment Simon, comparing the amount of range I need with other basses I have set up with the strings I'll be using.
    Yep, this is the pick of the lot. Like the others have said, your other options were both too big and too small. You could almost call this the Goldilocks Bridge!!

    2015 Ibanez AEL108MD-NT - Laminated Spruce top, Laminated Mahogany B&S, Fishman Sonicore Pickup
