I have an ol' cheapy Sebring Jammer I bought for about $50. Sounds pretty good, but the action is super high. Even with the bridge all the way down. I still new to the bass scene. Any suggestions(detailed please, still a nooby)?

Also, any info on the bass would be helpful. I know nothing of this brand and can't find anything on the interweb. :P

You would be well advised to check out the "set up" stickies in the beginning of this section... good info there...

That said, several things will have an effect on the action. The first thing you should do (before adjusting the bridge) is to check relief. There's detailed info in the stickies section on how to check and adjust relief. Read that section, and then post here with any questions....
