I have an Epiphone EA 260 bass on my bench and need some advice on action set up. It currently has about .260 clearance at the 12th fret. That feels a little high to me but really don't know what right feels like. It is a bolt on neck so it should be easy to make adjustments if needed. TIA

Thanks Wud, That is exactly what I needed. I had been to that sight before but forgot about it.
