Intonation and Tuning SNAFU

Had a problem with a P Bass. No matter what I did, I couldn't seem to get the tuning and intonation spot on. Not WAY out or anything, but enough to be one of those niggling problems that prevent you from fully concentrating on your playing. You know what I mean!

So... I went through the all the usual. Truss rod, bridge intonation adjustment, action (but not necessarily in that order). Nothing. Then I suspected the nut. Then I thought maybe the tuners were iffy (crazy!). Then I thought maybe I had duff strings. In short, I tried everything. No joy. It became an 'issue'.

Days pass. All this time I'd been checking the tuning with a headstock tuner. On a whim, I tried a pedal tuner. Bingo, all perfect. The headstock tuner was iffy. D'OH!!
