pickup and string height
I set mine by pressing the strings at the 24th fret and allowing about 3.5mm from the top of the pickups. This measurements seem to provide consistent sound between strings and pickups regardless of string height, since you are using the end of the fretboard as a refrence.
I also set my string height by measuring 6/64ths from the top of the 12th fret to the bottom of my B string, 5/64ths on the E to G strings and 4/64ths on the C string of my BSR6EG. I allow a small amount of relief to avoid rattles.
Works for me!
Ken, do you have a magic formula or set up the basses by feel only?
