Hey,everybody,this is my first topic,here's the thing:I've rebuilt a washburn MB-4 Mercury Bass guitar,but it just came with the body in bad shape and the electronics,no neck.Because i couldn't find any washburn neck that would fit there,i replaced it with a Squier p-bass neck,and honestly it looks really good,unfortunately i'm having a big problem doing the proper setup on it.the intonation on the 12th fret is really sharp(like for instance,the E string intonation onthe 12th fret is on Gb and this is with the saddle all the way back close to the bottom of the bridge)and i can't seem to find the problem here,i'm thinking it might be that it is a short scale neck and i need the proper strings for it or that has nothing to do with it?please help!!
