String spacing measured at?

Sign in to disble this ad
Hl all - I read discusssion about string spacing often, and understand generally what it means. My question is, what point of REFERENCE is one using when determining string spacing on a bass? I would think it is at the nut, but I am hoping someone will confirm. Thank you.

Chris

Spacing is measured from center to center of the strings at the bridge.


Oh, and wrong forum.
