@Andyjr1515 is a ski jump something you could sort out ? I don’t recall if you’re local though
-
Money and time I’m afraid
-
Anyway - both my basses, one with acceptable action and the one in question here, which does not, have first fret clearances of 0.3mm!
-
No more whisky for me … or anything else been teetotal for three months now
-
Sure - it’s 0.08 I agree - I was just questioning lone star about his suggestion of 0.76mm in his post
-
Isn’t that 0.076? I checked the fender specs
-
You’re right - I meant eighth
-
What is this instrument- Polish/Georgian folk

Some form of mandolin? -
I’ll give it a shot tonight, thank you is heel raising something I can check with a straight edge ?
-
Clarification- strings touching fret 8 when held down at first and last frets - is that what you meant ? i should have made my question clearer
-
I’ll try that - by dead straight you mean no relief at all so the string is resting on fret 8?
-
I think I have a ski jump most strings buzz from 15th up with 2.5mm at 12th . Relief is .3 at eighth with 1 and last fret held my stingray clone is down to 1.75 mm at 12th and it’s the same radius - so it can work unless it’s one high / low fret around 13
-
Sorry - the clear note is when plucked between third and nut found a reference measure of .07mm at fret 1
-
I’ve set the relief to 0.3mm at the 8th and the upper frets are still buzzing unfretted distance at the 12th is approx 2.5mm wondering if the nut is badly cut ? I can get a clear note from each string when fretted at 3rd by pinging the string with my finger nail
-
How do you know what speakers they need ? And are any of these for bass ?
-
Too much relief means forward bow so (barring tall fret issues) I should get no buzz, I think so what I’m doing is actually the opposite of hell zero’s method
-
Think I’m going to set relief to 0.4, set action I want and then put relief back on bit by bit
-
What exactly is this fender nevk heel issue ? Google results unhelpful
-
I don’t go higher than about f15 anyway so Luthier attention can wait relief is .3mm at 8 with 1 and 17 down action at 12 is around 2.6mm
-
Relic sunburst please though, I could be tempted by Olympic white with tort. the ACG stain with bright resin in the knots is nice though @skelf
-
I set it to 0.3m at eighth with 1 and 17 pressed and it’s still buzzing on higher frets action around 2.5 might try hellzeros “set it flat” technique
-
Yes that’s the one
-
@Stub Mandrelhas actually played the bass in question as has @petecarlton
-
Yes but mine is sky high - trying to find a happy average
-
Ballpark about 2mm - 2.5mm then? Thanks all
