That bridge seems way out 🧐

Intonation is perfect with room for the saddles to move either way and no issues with balance.

 

The pickup being nearer the bridge 'might' give it extra punch, but I can't hear it. The original DMT pickup is hot, so that option is there if you prefer.

It's because the neck is a 22 fret and, rather having the fretboard over hang in to the body, the effective scale (length) has been moved away from the back of the bass. Or, to put it another way, the headstock is further away from the butt end of the bass than a "normal" precision.

I will include a British Trace Elliot Boxer 30 Combo and hand-signed printed artwork of Steve Harris' band, British Lion (as drawn by the 2024 Tour Manager's daughter).

Would rather not part this out...

 

Electronics: £100

Amp: £80

Case: £50

Autography: £50

Hipshots: £50

Gotoh: £20

 

So £350 for the now used additions alone, which makes the original bass £0. 

 

No Squier frets made of cheese and no laurel, poplar or nato to be seen or heard.

If helpful, can drive to Hexham/Penrith/Moffat for handover.

[Schnozzalee]

£350 then.
