Hey Guys,
Im planning to buy a neck from Warmoth and I've been looking over their options and ran into this (http://www.warmoth.com/bass/necks/necks.cfm?fuseaction=fret_size). I was thinking of getting the 6230's because they seem like I could lower the action without getting buzz easier. Has anyone found this to be true? Also I love the vintage fender feel.

thanks

Action is about adjusting neck relief and the distance between the top of the fret and the bottom of the strings.

No matter which fret you take you can adjust your action however you like it. The fret itself is irrelevent to that equation.

Choosing the fret is about how you like to feel the strings when you play. Different heights have different feels.
