Easy way to get a very good approximation is to go to Stewmac.com..Scroll down to the bottom of the page to free information. Click on fret calculator and follow the directions. By their table you Bass E should be 23.022" (+or - .030") and your Treble E should be 22.91" compensated length. Gives a very good starting point for your saddle rout. Any additional compensation can be done on the actual saddle. I'm sure you'll get a lot of technical ways to figure out your saddle placement but that works for me.
