With a custom made bass, you have some flexibility mario_farufyno Senior Member Username: mario_farufyno Post Number: 767 Registered: 9-2008 Posted on Tuesday, April 24, 2012 - 9:21 am:    If you are asking about Bridge position itself, it is its distance from Nut that determines Scale Lenght (and fret positions by consequence), since this is related to how much string is free to vibrate between Nut and Saddles.

So you have to place the Bridge in a position that gave some space to move saddles back or forward when needed.
