Excellent video! Tough to find setup specs on basses. You covered pretty much all of it. Really appreciate how clearly you laid it all out with USA Measurements and Metric as well. Thank you! A real time saver!

I'm only 2:30 into the video and gotta say you nailed it it was hard to find a video with dual pickups for some reason but glad you made this video in detail for us

It’s 0.3mm for the neck relief

I think the previous owner of my USA Jazz watched this video and set the relief to 3 mm 😂

This tutorial is the standard for proper information. Thanks.

Thank you for getting right to the point

on the pickup height adjustment...I don't think I heard you say to make sure you press the E and G strings at last fret during the measurement. That's what the fender site says. PICKUPS Setting pickups too high can cause a number of unusual occurrences. Depress strings at last fret. Using a 6" (150 mm) ruler, measure the distance from the bottom of the first and fourth strings to top of the pole piece.

Very helpful videos thank you

Good video. I have a Fender Mexican Jazz, that sounds great, but it is low volume output. It's been suggested to adjust the height of the pickups as opposed to buying a preamp.

Good info and thank you.

Thanks for including the mm.

Thanks for the post

Very helpful .thank

Intonation too... thanks for this

Thanks for sharing the specs with us and they are quite useful for me. One question, is there any specs for the bridge pickup height or the it can be same as the neck's pickup height?

@recordlabeldao7820

Yes

Almost Perfect. For measuring the pick-up heigth you have to depress the string on the last fret according to the Fender website.. I don't know if you said that somewhere. The Nomad measuring method is somewhat easier I think.

if you don't have a double capo set you can always use an elbow behind last fret while haing your bass on a strap :)

What's the nut string height on a 4 string fender fretless?

WHOW thats high!!

Which is the bass side and which is the treble side on a precision bass pickup

When you are adjusting the action, is the capo on the first fret or was that only to adjust the neck relief. I checked the fender site and it did not indicate anything regarding this. There will be a difference in the measurements depending on if a capo is used or not.

The capo is only needed for checking the neck relief.

HI ! ARE THEY THE SAME MEASUREMENTS FOR A RICKENBACKER BASS ? COULD YOU INFORM ME PLEASE ? THANKS FOR THE VIDEO, VERY VERY INTERESTING. !

where can I get one of those cads? my memoey isn't what it use to be

After you demo'd how to measure the neck relief, you didn't remove the capo, at least not that I noticed. Do you then leave the capo on when checking the action at the 17th fret? Or do you remove the capo for that measurement?

Remove the capo when checking the action.

Oh man ,,,,thanks so much the que cards ,,,,,,,,,VIVA GUITAR GUTS !!!!

.013 is safe also you want to put your caipo right on the first fret not behind it because you're creating a bow over it will give you more accurate reading and you want to press down with your right hand right where the fret is at the end of the body and checking eighth fret

.3mm or 3mm as stated in vid ? 3mm is high

on P Split coil does each one have bass and treble side?

@HansyPants184

3 жыл бұрын

No. The p split gets treated as one pickup from one side to the other.

is that a 9.5 radius right?

So for the string action Bass Side 6/64 and Treble side 5/64 on 17th fret. Is it with capo or without capo? Please let me know, thanks.

The method its good but mesurement in milimeters its wrong. Its 0.3/.3mm n not 3mm. So yes you put the capo and press that last fret (you read that^ on the 8 fret)

Super super super......

1:52 that's .3 mm is actually 0.3mm because setting up your relief for 3mm is having a front bow for your bass neck

I never follows the fender specs i like my neck dead flat or slight bow.

thanks.... buddy has jazz bass and didn’t like my bitchin low action setup.....lol so your fact specs will be something I can tell him.don’t have a good way to tell him he’ll need to improve his playing technique to enjoy better feel !

What, neck relief 3mm? Right is 0,3-0,5 mm !

👍🏼

its .3 of a millimetre not 3mm.

Neck relief is not 3 mm, that's toooo much

3mm neck relief it’s way to much. 0.25-0.3 mm is ok

For myself personally, this action/relief would be way way too high.

Same! I set my bass action at 1.6 mm off the 17th fret on the E side, and 1.4 mm on the G side.

.012 inch = 0.3048 mm , not 3mm ;) neck relief

Erm buddy not 3mm its 0.30mm

3mm neck relief is far too much unlless you want to play a banana .
