Re: fender marauder
I wonder if it needed the extra range of the Bass VI bridge so it would intonate with the slanted frets?

Re: fender marauder
Good catch. The Bass VI base is probably there because the neck has a slightly shorter scale length than the normal 25.5", assuming the distance from the neck pocket to the bridge is the same you'd have in a standard 25.5" guitar, but CCOffset didn't mention measuring the latter.

Re: fender marauder
How can you tell it's the bass vi bridge base?

Re: fender marauder
Much wider than the typical offset bridge base for more intonation range.
1" vs 3/4" from memory.

Re: fender marauder
Is the Marauder short scale?

Re: fender marauder
The slant fret V2 Marauder was exactly 25.25". I thought that was significant since I've never seen another Fullerton made Fender guitar with that scale length.
