You can also use the allen wrench that adjusts the saddle, or one of the other ones in the set. If it's imperial, it's normally 1/16". If metric, it's often 1.5mm
i felt the action of the strings increased when you raised the saddle. but you said you raise the saddle to reduce the distance between the strings and the fretboard.
Thanks for sharing 😊 Wow 1/16” that’s approx 1.5mm only! I’m having buzz 12th fret and up, it only went away after I raised the strings. Now it’s E is 3.5mm above 17th fret, 3.0 for others. Yeah, feels bad, so high. Fender Jazz bass Highway One 2011.
That's very low action. I don't know if that is practical. I have basses where I could go low like that with very little buzzing but it still does not sound as full and punchy as a slightly higher action.
If I bring my action that low I get string buzz when play on the first fret. Have to have my action pretty high on my E and A string. Any tricks or things I can check??

The harmonic is always in tune, regardless of saddle position....
agreed
When is America going to go metric .
LOL Imperial is far superior , its out dated @@Simrealism
@@Simrealismha ha ha... It's outdated. Science stopped using it for a reason. 😂😂😂
What an awesome technique 👍 using those two glued picks. I'm going to try that on my Fender Squire. I have some Fred buzz that I need to correct.

If we ever get to buy picks again. Ill make me one of those. I like the cricket sound effects btw.
Philip, haha. When you’re filming you don’t realize how boring the silent parts are. Ahha. I just discovered how to add sound effects. :)
Really good and alternative trick using mediators for mesuring ! 😄😄👌
Do you put a capo or something on the first fret when setting the bridge action? (On bass?)
Gonna try it now
Ty
Nice one Jon :D

U have to do steps trussrod first then string height
Fender Jazz Bass It comes alive when the strings are a little higher ! A low string is easy to play but does not have a nice Fender tone!
Perfect
Great video. For intonation, which direction pushes the saddle forward and backwards?
I always fret the 12th, my theory was that sharp is short, and you need to lengthen the string, and flat is long.
if u dont trust ur eyes... u can trust gravity... nick one.. hilarious... hahahaha... thanks for the tips.

If you get buzz on the first frets you may need to adjust the truss rod, some more neck relief may be necessary.
So the string height is simile with the A, D & G @ 1/16?
Yes. This is a great starting point to determine where YOU feel most comfortable with your action.
Thats actually not the easiest way to explain if you're looking at the tuner and the note at the 12th is to the right... you tight left you loosen
My tuner says my low string is intonated but it sounds out of tune when doing the standard 5th fret tuning method... Anyone know how to fix this?
