The saddle slots look wrong, everything just looks wrong.
Does anyone else have the same model they could post a photo of the bridge ?

My opinion, the bridge is in backwards.

Yes, the bridge was backwards and I have turned it around, switched around the saddles. Still got the same results. I have also talked to Bob Shade about this problem and I will probably send this bass to him for upgrades in the near future.

Haha, yes! This bass needs a lot of tinkering to be playable.

I dont feel so bad now. I found a picture of a 1966 Ventures bass that has the same problem, but even worse in my opinion.

Wouldnt it be great if someone or some company designed a upgrade drop in bridge that features a fully adjustable bridge, (including string spacing) much like Fender, for Mosrite basses/guitars?

Wink wink, Bob Shade ;)
