Just the tiniest hint of relief on the neck and low action (no buzz) with the strings following the radius of the board. Bridge strobe tuned at the 12th and 24th (no problem on Smith basses ) then good to go.

I stick with the same strings now (after much trial and error) and so my set up stays consistent season to season.

Bob, I'm curious: What is your reasoning for choosing Nickel's? Can you tell me what you like about them?
