Each of the strings sits on a 'saddle'. You can move the saddle backwards and forwards, usually with a screwdriver to adjust the intonation. Have a read of the tutorials here on how to set up a guitar, especially the one here on adjusting the intonation. It's fairly easy to do (just remember to put on new strings!), and you can't really go wrong.

i put strap locks on my jazz bass and i'm guessing that the screws were to small for the arginal holes in the bass but now after about a year the screws have pretty much dug out the holes and striped them out. just to make it short. how can i fix it? just fill it with putty or somthing so i can put the orginal strap holders back on? thanks for the help.

do thoes things like dremels and rotozips really work it looks to me that you could only do small routs with them and nothing really big
