My experience with bridge saddle height and intonation. And cured the bridge roll to nice and seated.
Similar experience with an electro acoustics... just make sure the piezo element is flat and central to the strings / cavity... some times they have raised sections, on the saddle blade, piezo element, or both.
I got a spare bridge blade. Cheap enough then file or mid that one keeping the OE as a reference.
Don't know the bass or set up but... if 'Custom Shop 62' maybe checkout the TonerRider P as a more cost effective option to trial... and 'prolly all you need 😉
SR's such lovely body 'n neck... if it were a 4?
My Passive P and It's glorious! - @Andyjr1515
Me? I'd Go Budget Bass-ic...
Wilkinson 5 String PJ Set £50ish, Vol/Blend/Tone (or Artec QTP) for some Sublime Simplicity... Winter evening project?
@LeftyP sweeeeeet looking hollow body that... let's have a pic of the headstock. It's got to have something going on to fit in with those off set f holes.
Vol Vol Tone - VVT (tone often with a smaller knob) and sometimes wired Vol Blend Tone - VBT
So Vol/Vol (or Vol/ Blend) instead of Vol and Pickup Selector...
Forward Angle... Saddles on the deck...
Needs a shim in the back of the neck pocket.
Truss Rod isn't the the thing to fix what you describe...
Hold the E on the 1st fret and say the 12th or 17th... to act as a straight edge against the neck
Should be a Business Card / Credit Card gap called the 'Relief' between bottom of string and the top of the 7th, 9th fret... take a look... this is what the truss rod adjusts.
Slight Shim in the neck pocket will angle the neck back, and mean the saddles need to be raised, allowing the action to be set.
Not in a band... but my Son loves the sound of his Fretless, Drive and Wah, playing more lead, melody.
He feels it's fretless capabilities and difference should be explored more.
He's trying the the Zoom B1 Synth stuff to come up with something...
He asked me how to get a more 'Saxophone Sound' ? Feels the expressiveness can provide an overlap...
Anyone?
Angled Back Tele?
And to make it lighter... 4 Fish Tails instead of Hefalump Ears...
Got a set in black for postage£
Before ya cut n drill...
(They are Right handed so wont work reverse Tele)
Mine got a set of these...

I found the scratch plate - still got the plastic film on it... pm me your address and i'll stick it in the post...
^ I have found a single machine head, but is different.
I should have 2 that came off... which leads me to belive i am looking in the wrong place! - Sorry.. if they turn up i'll let ya know.
Looks like the headstock is angled back on a scarf...
For me... straight string runs...
And i think the best looking headstock is the Ibanez SR...
But Hey! Why not an angled back Tele Head?
