What luck. I knew it was a silly idea but was just day dreaming.
Now a more realistic question: Adjusting the nut height. If my fingers had the grip of a C-clamp fretting the first fret would be no problem. The strings are way too high. I have the bridge where I want it. How high should the strings be above the first fret? I have seen .020" for guitars and guess it is different for a bass and my strings aren't even close to that, .060" at least. I was reluctant to monkey with it for for fear of undoing all my work at leveling the frets but upon consideration realized the nut height doesn't affect anything past the fingered fret. That is set by the bridge height.
