The bass is setup [i]close[/i] to the values that Fender give for bass guitars:

[b]For 9.5" to 12" radius:[/b]

[b]Relief at 8th fret[/b] = 0.012" (0.3 mm)

[b]Action at 17th fret 4th string[/b] = 6/64" (2.4 mm)

[b]Action at 17th fret 1st string[/b] = 5/64" (2 mm)

I have just taken all three measurements and they are very close to those figures, [i]tending to be very marginally higher[/i] by less than 1/64" in the case of the action, and 0.1 mm in the case of the relief. Given that I play with flats and consider myself to like a medium to high action I was surprised the measurement was so low.

So, 'a nice low action'? I think that's too subjective to call. If you want a particularly low or lower action then I suspect a tightening tweak on the truss rod and some adjustment of the bridge pieces could achieve it. If you were going to use different strings than the TI Jazz Flats which are on it now you would need to redo the setup anyway.

To me it's 'nice' as it is. Hi there any chance of you giving me a bell 02920 702644-as I am definetly interested in the bass.
