Like a New Bass, Almost

I'm using lighter gauge strings these days (no more telephone poles for me!), so yes, that would fix it.  Some day I may get around to actually ordering new saddles.  ;)

You can't just order new saddles for a channel bridge. They are individually had fit. It's possible to get an ok fit if you supply the bridge for fitting, but it's ideal to have the whole bass since there are so many variables to getting a proper fit.

If eventually I make it out to Santa Rosa, I'll bring the bass along and do this (probably the upgrade as well).  I don't think my lovely Series 1.5 need ever see the inside of a UPS/FedEx/DHL/Whatever van again, if you know what I mean...  
 
The unsightly scrap of cereal box works well, and the bass is always a delight to play as-is, so I think it's not a big priority at this juncture..
