Hello all:
I just purchased my first MM SR5. I noticed right out of the box that the string height was a quite a bit higher than what I've experienced on other basses. Is this normal? Is the action on a MM bass higher than most?
I tried to adjust it and I can't seem to bring it down to what I like without getting some serious fret buzz. I've noticed there's no tilt screw on the back at all. Also, I saw where EB says to only adjust the truss rod for height adjustments. On the upper frets there is some serious buzz - it's almost sounds like a fretless it's so bad.
I've been Following EB's directions on their FAQ section but that doesn't answer all my questions - it seems what's worked on other basses isn't working on this one...
Any suggestions? Pointers? Etc?
