No reply on the electric guitar and bass section, so... I have a Ovation Elite 5 String Acoustic Bass Guitar (not as nice this one!) in for some work. Neck's like a banana, hope the truss rod is OK. Could anyone tell me how much is ball park relief, and action @ 12th, for an acoustic bass? |

Acoustic bass guitar relief is usually the same as for an electric bass. Wish I could help more than that. |

Low as you can go, with no buzzing. Bass players are really fussy about that! |

I was taught to use 3/32" on bass side and 2/32" on treble side. |

Quote: I was taught to use 3/32" on bass side and 2/32" on treble side. ^^^^ What he said. ^^^^ Minimal relief in the neck. Play until your fingers bleed. |
