Bluegrassman	Double bass action (11)	RE: Double bass action	23 Nov 07
Cappuccino A lot depends on the type of music you are wanting to play, here on the UK bluegrass scene lots of players are using Polyamide covered bass strings because they don't shred your finger ends and they do produce the sound and volume required. A full set of strings is currently about £100. The height of the string at the bottom end of the fingerboard should be about 10mm or 3/8", don't worry about the distance from the strings to the body, the fingerboard is where it counts. It is not a complicated job to adjust the bridge or very unlikely the nut. It all depends on your confidence (and the cash in your pocket)PM me and I will give some links to bass sites. Bluegrassman
