Non-PBG RBX Style Bass Guitar Kit RBX-20 from DIY Guitars

I can work in both metric and imperial (but mainly metric), but standard scale lengths are normally defined in inches, so it's easiest for me to reference them that way. UK rulers and measures have both scales on, so it's not really an issue for us, whatever scale's used.

1" = 25.4 mm, so 863+25.4 = 888.4mm (without laser measuring and cutting tools you're never going to position it better than ±0.5mm anyway. As long as you've got at least 25mm of movement on the saddles from above the fixing screw position to their maximum forwards position (whilst still on the screw thread) you'll be fine.

Ok thanks Simon,

34" inches = 863.6mm on google.

So I'm in the right area I think. I'll put the screw holes that fix the bridge to the body at this length?

Actually I think that I am wrong.

I should position all of the bridge saddles in the center of the bridge(so it's 34" or 863.6mm) before it's installed and use that as a guide where to place the bridge on the body.

That way I have equal travel in both directions if sharp or flat for the intonation on each string.
