I'm going to stick with 19mm I think and just try and put it out of my head!

I think I'm going to go for the 19mm spacing too, but annoying the E string in particular now doesn't line up with the pickup.

I assume the saddles are compatible with the US bridge - should be a quick, cheap reversible fix. Has anyone tried this? Anyone know where I can buy these?

[quote name='Twincam' timestamp='1465586312' post='3069540'] I know it's annoying but many basses have that issue. [/quote] It seems to be there by design on every single adjustable bridge fender, not just a few. As far as I can see the pickups are designed for a 20mm spacing - I think I also read this somewhere, which is impossible to get exactly with the adjustable bridge (strings will be in the range 19-21mm). If you want consistent spacing then you can set to 19mm (like the MIM fixed bridge), but it won't line up with all the pole pieces.

@Mantom Customs - measured from the center of the strings @Spyder - Yes, I know I should put it out of my head, but concerned it is going to make it more tricky switching to my Yamaha which is exactly 19mm spacing on all strings.

I have developed an unfortunate case of string spacing OCD. From what I read Fender are supposed to use a 19mm string spacing at the bridge. My US Jazz came with E - 19mm - A - 21mm - D - 20mm - G (60mm E to G), as picture below. This gives good alignment with the pickups - e.g. string passes in the middle of the pole pieces Looking on the pictures on the Fender website (on both Jazz and P-basses), the images show a similar spacing on several basses e.g. 60mm total, but uneven spacing like mine - on some the gap between E and A is 21mm and A and D as 19mm. Some look less than 60mm judging on the bridge positions. I looked in a music shop today and 2 basses were setup with the 19mm string spacing as below but as with mine then the strings don't line up in the middle of the magnets. Another 2 basses were setup with wider (but uneven) spacing. Anyone else noticed this? The only way to get 19mm on the adjustable bridge fenders is to have the strings in the 1-1-3-3 slots (G to E) Do you set up your bass with the 19mm spacing as above (57mm), or do you set closer to 60mm but with uneven spacing, but closer alignment to the pickups? It is more the fact the string spacing is variable e.g. 19mm E to A and 21mm A to D that is bugging me.

Thanks guys.

As a relative beginner I'm not yet in a band but that is my longer term aim. I like the idea of getting a rumble 500 to future proof for my potential future stage debut, but wondered how these performed at home practice volumes which it would be used for in the first instance. I read a few comments saying amps need turning up a bit to get a good tone. So would a rumble 100 (or even a 40) sound better than a rumble 500 at very low levels? Thanks!

Just noticed these on Dawson's website. P+J config 60's CS pickups Jazz neck American standard series ......but £100+ cheaper than AM std Jazz or P bass. Anyone tried these? Best of both worlds? (P+J bass) or a bit of a compromise?

What about a RBX270J Mine is 7lb4oz and it sounds and plays great - probably the same pickups as your BB414 PS, looks like there is one on gumtree for £100
