my String & Pickup height gauges here
I use my string and pickup height gauges for quick, repeatable setup checks—especially when I’m measuring action at the 17th fret and dialing in a bass to where I like it. If you want to set your instrument up with real numbers instead of guessing, these make the process fast and consistent.
You'll be taken to Manotickstringworks to complete your purchase.
Pros
- +Makes action and setup measurements quick and repeatable
- +Useful for checking string height during seasonal tweaks
Cons
- -You still need proper technique and a full setup process for best results
