Not massively flat, just a little bit, but i feel responsible because i sold it to him. The strings are six weeks old, and the rest of my set up was spot on, be it pick-up height, intonation on the other strings and action... I will have him read this thread in case one of the scenarii you guys have mentioned looks like something he would have spotted! Thanks a lot for your help!

Yeah i agree that it is very unlikely that the bass would have a fret distance problem. The strings are GHS Precision Flats. He replaced the screw with one that is 1cm longer and sent me a picture. The saddle is all the way towards the pick-up, and the intonation is much better at the 24th fret but still not 100% perfect. I still can't wrap my head around the fact that the string is spot on at the nut and 12th fret, but flat at the 24th? How is it possible? Anyone else has any other idea than the possibility of a faulty string?

Hello everyone! I recently parted ways with my beloved Cort B5 Element (as i dont gig, nor have a band, and mostly use my 6 string to jam along to Youtube). I have been doing my own set ups for the past 10 years or so and, to me, that Cort was perfect in every way. Now: the buyer checked the intonation on the 12th fret of the G string and it was a bit flat, so he adjusted accordingly and got it to the right pitch. But now turns out the 24th fret is very flat. Admitedly, i had never checked the intonation there as i assumed that physically, if the bass was in tune at the nut and at the 12th fret, there was no reason why it would be any different at the 24th. Turns out it does happen, apparently. So i am turning to you in order to see why this is happening, and what options the buyer has to correct that little flaw. It only happens on that one string. Any ideas? Thank you in advance, everyone!

I love 6-string single-cut basses! Wish i had one!

Hello everyone ! I figured that so many things had changed for me that i might as well update this thread here! I am no longer in Spain : i currently live in Le Mans, in France, approximately 3hrs west of Paris. I no longer own any of the gear i started this thread with. At some point i really needed money ans had to sell it all, and i deeply miss both the BTB846SC-DTL and the RMI Quantum... I now play at home almost exclusively, using an Ibanez SR1206 through a Harley Benton DNAfx multieffects pedal (switching off amp and cab sims makes it suitable for bass)... Currently unemployed but job hunting daily... And i have massive GAS for: Boss OC-5 Ibanez Sr606E Cosmic Blue Starburst Flat Ibanez SRSC806 Deep Twilight Flat Ibanez BTB846SC Deep Twilight Low Gloss Ibanez BTB686SC Terra Firma Ibanez BTB846CBL Cerulean Blue Burst Low Gloss I hope U are all doing well! Have a nice one!

I miss my BTB846SC-DTL... Can't afford another one now..

Yeah, i own a B5 Element and it is my absolute favourite bass out of three that i currently own... i miss the B4FL i used to own and would love to get my hands on one of the more recent B4FL Element in black.. and obviously the A5 Plus SC!

Not in the plans for now.. broke & unemployed...

Oh.. sorry 😔

I am jealous of both of you!

I read somewhere that they were going bankrupt, but don't they still have to honour the last orders? I have also read – on reddit, i believe – that there were parties interested in buying Bax, so... let's wait and see... fingers crossed for you!

taddaaaaaa!

That is encouraging.. but i am going another route in the end. The caution messages, plus the fact that i am not gigging nor in a band, plus the fact that i am unemployed at the mo & need cash, have led me to list three of my 4 basses and my GT-1B on french second hand websites. I am getting rid of everything and will just stick to playing at home along Youtube videos. I am keeping the Bronco and might still mod it later. Maybe just a new pickguard and the electronics and pickup i already have for it.

So very cool!!

Haha i can see that. I have started a smilar thread on talkbass (US) and onlybass (Fr) and it seems i am out of my depth completely. I think i'll just wait for a fretless i can afford!
