So I was taking a quick look at my bass and I actually realised how high my action is. It goes a little like this...

Fret 1: 0.5-1mm
Fret 12: 4.5mm
Fret 20 (last fret): 5.5mm

To be honest, I do tend to naturally grip the neck a little harder than most people do, and with my pick attack being nice and heavy, I do like to get rid of that "clank"-ish sort of sound you get with lower actions.... And if it's really comfortable and not destroying my hands, why change it?

What are your actions like on guitar / bass? Really low or super high like me? On guitar I prefer a lower action
