130 Bee intonation 4-2-5 4003

Post by VRICKY63 »

I'm going to put on a set of Ernie Ball Cobalt strings. The Cobalts are supposed to have higher tension which is what I like with the shorter scale of the 4003. I've already filed the saddle so I could move it back far enough to intonate a 125 B string. Anyone using a 130 B and did you get it intonated?

I only use .130 B strings, whether on my S/5, 4004Cii/5 or tuning a 4001 to BEAD. Didn't have trouble getting the string intonated correctly.
Though I'm not into EB strings, I'll be interested to hear you comments about the new Cobalt strings. I saw them displayed at NAMM.
JETGLO should officially be renamed JETGLO ROCKS! :-)

Same here with a .130 B. I believe I have the saddle jacked all the way back, but it's intoned.

I put a new set of Cobalts on my Bongo 5HH. Wow. They are really nice strings and LOUD. Worth the extra $$.
