Mine's 4mm between the fret and the string
Maybe I play with more force than I thought! It seems on the low side to me...
EDIT: Thats on my 4... On my 5 string the B string is about 6mm and on my 6 string my low A is about 8mm
...Maybe I should give em a bit of a setup

if you are happy, why change. I can't help but think that this is some kind of competition.
You must be able to measure the gap in microns, or you're not a true player!
Personally, I hate any kind of unintentional contact between frets and strings. To me, it sounds sh*t. If I want to wollop a string, i want it do play the note I asked for, without it buzzing at me. No doubt the gaps between my strings are considered ridiculous and some would find it unplayable. Luckily then, they won't be playing it, it's not their sodding instrument, it's mine and I am happy with it.
