I'd try to intonate the bass using the existing configuration. If you do, it's less work to do. If you don't, then it's woodshed time!

On my P-Bass (34" Scale) the G string sits back a little less than a 1/16" from the 34" mark using a set of regular ernie ball slinkys (.105, .085, .070, .050) and the distance increases with the bigger strings. Am I right in thinking that with a smaller scale length on the SB-300, the distance on the G string would be slightly less? That is, using a similar gauge of strings.....

<p>I do very little work on bass guitars or electrics, so I could be wrong, but, with a bass guitar, with heavy strings, the intonation would be set back more than a standard 6 string. Also with individual saddle adjustments you do have lots of room for adjustment.</p>

For an electric bridge, I'm used to just hit the mark, since the saddles have a lot of travel, it gives you some safety.

<p>Saddle needs positioning so that intonation is correct. That is generally slightly back from the 30 1/2" position.</p>

Thanks Pierre! I thought was the case. I just wanted to double check with someone more experienced. Looks like I got to take a little more care in plugging the old post holes and be a little more concerned with matching the color!

If your mesurement are correct, the last repair was a poor one and you should place it so that the saddle in its most forward position just hits the 30 1/2" mark.
