Davee Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Long shot, recently dug out my thunder 1 bass in lockdown.Put a set of new stings on and action seems high anyone know what the string hight should be? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4000 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 As high as you prefer. 😉 There is no “answer”. My action is no higher than 2mm 12th fret E, lower for the G, but some prefer much higher action. Sounds to me like your neck might need adjusting if it’s been sat awhile, unless you’ve put a different make and/or gauge strings on it.
