@Sir Adrian Fish What intonation problems are you having? The saddles move easily enough, once you slacken the locking grub screw. They can also be reversed if the bass is sharp.

@Sir Adrian Fish There's a very good breakdown of the RB414 bridge and how it relates to the one found on the RIC 4003. Post # 1295 by somebody called MirandM. https://www.talkbass.com/threads/club-rickenfaker-fakenbacker-show-your-fake-rics.623072/page-65#post-23652672

My latest creation. Saplele blank. Cut to shape, routered for pickups and neck. Tung oil finish applied. Final assembly with TV Jones and Tort.
