This is not a new problem, John Rostill faced it with his Burns bass. It even inspired him to write I Wish I Could Shim It Like My Sister Arthur :mrgreen:

Hi Pete,

Glad the shim worked as predicted!
Nice to know the heavy last resort of shaving off the bottom of the saddles wasn't needed.
But when you asked for all options, I decided to also include the heavy one...

Cheers Rob
