Real Parts package arrived today....
Have not been able to get the action nice and even all along the neck with this build and part of the problem seemed to rest with how high string saddles are on the bridge, even when fully lowered and also the ridiculous break angle from saddles to base where the strings are fed through. I reckon the cylindrical shaped saddles are about 10 mm or more in diameter which looks bigger than on a traditional F style Bass bridge?
Spotted one of these on Real Parts website when shopping for other bits and pieces and thought why not? It can only help lower action at bridge end a bit more than at present but also help to reduce sharp break angle, particularly on the low B & E strings. It has plenty of small allen key adjustable movement and final intonation will no doubt take much longer than usual but it should be worth it in the end.
Hope to get stuck into this on Sunday along with a few other minor maintenance jobs on some other guitars and basses.
