QueenBoy Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Hi, I was just wondering, I bought a full size hard bass case today and the neck wont fit in properly as the headstock it too far down, I think it's because my bass could be threequater size? So I'm here to ask you which part of the bridge do you measure to from the nut in order to find out the scale length? Thanks, QB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Best way is to measure from the nut to the 12th fret then double it. Bridge saddles are moved to compensate for intonation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcrow Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 yes fret 12 distance from the nut times 2 roughly when the bass is correctly intonated it will be from the nut to the lightest string...G on a 4 string...saddle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
