A better player than I am said my B4CE needed a neck reset. It certainly needed help with intonation. One trusted source preferred not to express an opinion since their shop was not in a position to do the work. I did find another luthier who was willing to do a reset if one was needed. His solution was to fashion a new saddle. That solved the intonation problems and the bass remains playable (although it is not mine, just in the family). So for future reference we should probably be careful about whether we are talking about working on the saddle or shaving the bridge.
