Hi everybody,
I' m a new EBMM customer. 4 days ago i bought a StingRay 4. I love that bass but i have some question for expert musicmen in this forum.
I noticed that the action is too high (5mm at 12 fret on E string) and i wanted to try lower the action turning CCW the trussrod, but i didn't because there was already too much buzz on every string and looking at the fretboard it was perfectly straight. I think it's strange to have buzzes with high action and straight fretboard, so:
1) Maybe the action is very high because of the Nut at the top of the fretboard? That Nut is very high compared to other basses.
2) Or maybe this must be because of the height of the frets? On other basses frets are not so 'prominent'.
- Finally what i have to do to get the lowest action without buzz considering what i wrote above?
Thanks guys
