To adjust your bass's intonation is as important as adjusting the neck action, but slightly easier.
The tools required are screwdriver and a tuner.
When tuning the screw at the bridge, it will move the saddle either forward or backward.
1. Now hold a note at the 12th fret and check it with your tuner.
2. If the note is too sharp that mean the string is too short. Move the saddle away from the neck.
3. Tune again to check if it is accurate.
If you are not confident to do it yourself, do send in and get the pros to do it. Also get them to adjust your action as well.
Cheers
