This is why I love TB. Quite a few big names post here both builders and pro players.

Edit: Out of being curious; what is your string heighth at the 12th fret?

Word. Had to throw on the Beantown jersey for the Roxy gig. Ain't nobody throw the gloves off like the Bruins.

Was pouring raining and that place was ~packed~ that night (Feb 2011). Roxy called us back the next day and said it was one of their biggest selling nights ever. For a few minutes we thought they were messing with us, then we realized they were serious... kinda took a while for that to settle in, since we were just busy concentrating on the next gig at the Viper Room.

Welcome to TB TASBass, a place where you learn something new everyday and connects you to what is going on in the World of Bass 24-7. Truly a very informative place to spend sometime. RTS

Hey Loinmute, got some numbers:

12th fret, B string, string to neck: 0.220 inches = 5.59 mm
12th fret, B string, string to fret: 0.183 inches = 4.65 mm

12th fret, G string, string to neck: 0.194 inches = 4.93 mm
12th fret, G string, string to fret: 0.153 inches = 3.90 mm

It's the original set of frets, bought the bass new about 5 years ago.

That seem right to you?
