Bass setup

[milo]

Hello
Dear brothers in arms I bought Labella Supersteps strings for drop tuning ADGCF on my Spector rebop 5 string.
Can anyone tell me how high you have strings set at 12 fret and neck relief ?
My neck relief is 1mm at 9 fret. String hight is around 3 mm at 12 fret.
Thank you for answer.

Relief should be around .01 inches. The thickness of a business card. You shouldn't need more than that. If you do and you can't get buzz free at 2mm action, frets might need some work. All of this is generally speaking and sibjective.

1mm relief is a lot. 3mm action is high for my taste. 2mm is more like it for me, ymmv.

I had fret leveling treatment a month ago

Mine is much lower than that in G#, 0.1mm relief (yes that's 0.0039") & 1.5mm at th 12th fret, 3mm would be unplayable for me.
