Hey Bass Guy,
if it helps here's 2 pics of my EX-1 kit, mine the bass post is about 3mm further than the treble post, this is my 1st build so it was ordered September 2012.
Sounds like you have just enough play to get the intonation correct which is lucky.
I'm sure Stevie will be stoked with his 21st prezzy, when does he get it ?

I have measured from the 12th fret to the nut and got 313mm. Measuring from the 313mm to the brdge saddles there seems to be juuuuuuuuuuust enough play to intonate it. Phew.
The video was updated to show that you should get around 315-316mm from the crown of the 12th fret to the saddles of the bridge. The added 3 mm is explained in detail in the updated vid, and in other threads I have posted on 'Compensation". It's a bit more with a Bass!

Hi wokka,
Yours looks a little more "normal" than mine, but I have shunted the saddles about a bit and have come up with an angle which should compensate adequately.
Stevie's birthday is the 11th of August. Should be ready by then... :?

Hot Damn that came up a treat! Fingers crossed that you can intonate her.
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Yes bass guy looks sweet although a dark photo. As DB says hope the intonation works out. How good is amaranthine on basswood. Wait till it hits the Ash bodies!

All done! Strung up, and waiting for the neck to get used to the tension. Piccies are up on the August GOTM thread.

Cool. Best of luck with the intonation.
And finally, delivery to the birthday boy recipient!
He is VERY pleased!!
