The customer was very happy with the 2.5mm I gave him....I always aim for a very low 'start point' (as a target for the fret levelling / adjustments) and give customers an option to adjust upward if they prefer.
It's a truss rod with self-adhesive sandpaper on it. Easy to make, takes a little longer to get the hang of it. My ebook shows how in great detail - facebook.com/relovedguitars/photos/a.1434485003475282.1073741832.1434242346832881/1831237983799980/?type=3&theater - if you're interested :-)
Finding it difficult to get a low action on this bass
Muy bueno su video.
La cuña que coloca debajo del mastil de que otro material puede ser?
Saludos.-
Looks like it’s got a shit load of relief 😮💨
Ya I got one the plastic tuning pegs suck lol
Crazy to have never seen the sound gear gio, it’s the only bass I’ve seen middle schoolers with ever myself included
Ibanez
012" @7th fret
6/64" (.094") #4 string @14th fret
5/64" (.078) #1 string @14th fret
This is what your starting point should be.
Don, where did you get these numbers?
what size hex did you use on the truss rod?
Too long ago to remember, sorry - but I would expect it to be the modern Chinese 4mm standard
2 mm last fret action on a Bass is crazy low. Even 2 mm 17th fret action is very low. I think it will be pretty unplayable with such low action.
It's fairly standard for high-end basses. It works just fine, unless you have a hammer for a right hand and play with a pick.
Bass players I know would disagree :-)

pallecla - you don't know what you're talking about
That's a lot of time spent for a $75 bass guitar. You are very patient.
What are those fret leveling tools called and where can I get some?
