You mentioned high frets at the beginning of the video a couple of times. I guess causing fret buzz. What did you do to alleviate that ? What was the pick up height you set it at ? Thanks

I/8” and 3/32” bass and treble sides. There were a couple frets that were not pushed in all the way. Had to tap in with a small hammer and wood block

What distance do you set between the pickups and strings? 3mm?

I am so confused. Why would you set all the string heights the same?
@stringmanguitars4329

Because they need to match the radius of the fretboard. You don’t NEED to, but you’re working way too hard.

@@stringmanguitars4329 Oh I thought you had to have the e side higher than the g side no matter what. Is it more of a preference thing then? or is it just easier on a bass like that with a flatter radius to have them all the same height?

I find most manufacturers want similar all the way across with the exception of the Gibson guitars with a 24 3/4” scale. It any guitar with that scale. They call for 5/64 in the bass side and 3/64 in the treble. These of course are guidelines. Not rules.

@@stringmanguitars4329 Interesting I was wondering why my Yamaha came with the strings all at the same height. Today I ended up lowering my 5 string from 6 64ths (E) to 5 64ths (C) (How Fender recommends) to all strings at 5 64ths and it is surprisingly more comfortable on my right hand. I thought it would be less comfortable given the strings are more curved. There is a bit of fret buzz on the E and A strings now of course, but I guess that's why most people set those a bit higher.

Do you have .012 relief? That could be your issue. Too much relief can cause that. Then again the bench being too straight will cause the same thing.
