I've decided to lower my action!

The flats I have on and my style changing to a lighter attack have me on the path to lowering my bass' action!

Wish me luck!!!

You won't need any luck if you work carefully and read the setup sticky. There's really good advice in there.

OK, so I did it, but the strangest thing happened....

MY INTONATION IS DAMN-NEAR-PERFECT!!!!!!!!!! Never mind that it's easier to play and stuff...

It was far from intoned before, but now it's the shiz!!! Well except for ONE of the strings, which has got a flat intonation.

Amazing. Anyway now the action is way better. Used to be that you could park a car under my B string... Not anymore!!!
