The other saddles still look like they're still too far forward. You should take it in for a good setup (unless you know how to do it yourself).

This thread made me realize that I never set up the intonation on my Frankenbongo when I swapped the necks on fretless and fretted. Whoops.
I just tuned it up, plugged it in, and went boom-boom. Time to break out the Petersen.
And, for what it's worth*, when I saw that first picture, I knew it'd be the intonation. I'd never seen a B string so far forward.
*5 internet points for those keeping score
