What's your SR5's string height?

[stflbn]

Just curious what kind of playable string heights at the highest fret people are managing to get out of their SR5's.

Maybe also state what your technique is like to go with the measurement. very light touch, aggressive attack, etc.


I've been forcing myself to adapt to a much lighter touch and I'm just curious what string setup heights others are managing to get out of their necks without "to much" of the expected Musicman bonus sounds.

I really need something to measure it, I have it about as low as I dare go.

I'm also really interested to hear others' answers on this one.

For a few bucks, you should be able to get a 6" metal ruler from Radio Shack that has measurements in 32nds and 64ths.

While not specific to your bass, here's a great article that is very specific about string-heights: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

While only a lowly MIM Jazz, my measurements are:
* Treble-side: 5/64
* Bass-side: 7/64

That is with a "medium" touch (not super-light, not "thrashing"). My Ibanez SR496 is about 1/64" better on both the treble and bass side. On the Fender I get a little buzz if I "thrash" (which I only do unplugged).

OLP mm32:

Looks like fretted at 1st fret I'm getting:

About 3/32nd at 12th fret on B string
Just under 1/16th at 12th fret on G string

Hoping to bring that down just a bit once I put the Power Slinky's on it... we'll see.
