It will get you by until you can either buy or make a new saddle.

Thank you very much!!! Probably though, I'm going to be a wimp and just try to buffer the groove in the nut for the B. Although the other strings are low too, there are no sound issues so I'm hesitant to touch them.
Actually, the twangy B is slightly diminished when I'm plugged in...which I haven't in awhile. Charging up a 9v now or will snag one from a smoke detector a little later to see if I still notice a difference.
If the nut-buffering doesn't work, I'll try your quick fix -sounds good and thanx again!
