String heights

I play a plywood Sam Eastman with Spiro mittels. E, A, D, and G are all right around 9.5mm from the end of the fingerboard to the middle of the string, give or take .2mm. I love it.

Does anybody else play with heights almost even across all 4 strings like this? I've never played a bass that has been set up like this.
