Typical Setup Specs for 0.130 5 String set.

Sep 26, 2008

Right now, I'm using:

(please note that I'm tuning UP to C standard)

.022 action @ first fret low B (C)
.020 action @ high G

0.105 action @ the 17th, low B
0.094 action @ 17th, high G

.014" relief @ 7th fret

Sound about right?

I'm getting some clack on the low B and low E, and can't dial it out without raising the saddles.

I was running a 0.120 set before, and didn't have issues with the clacking.
