Thanks everyone! I was curious because one of my basses has lower action than the other and I didn't know if one was high or the other was just really low. Turns out the one I thought was high is around 2.5-3mm at the 12th fret (estimate with a ruler) with no buzz. The other is just low low I...

Cool thanks! Do you have a specific tool that you use to take these measurements accurately?

Are those measurements made from the top of the fret to the bottom part of the string?

I know this may seem kind of stupid but I have no idea what justifies low action. So I was wondering what is low action (numerically, I know what action means)? How do I measure the action on my bass and what tools do I need?
