I get the tone argument Cosmin. But for me it is a mental thing. I would be curious, if you in fact knew, what height yours was set at.

I like my action set as low as possible. I get a bit of fret buzz on my bass and I love it
I think his has to do with the fact that I started playing on guitars that had too high action (bad quality guitars) and somehow I was unlucky to get several of those guitars which kinda hindered my motivation and performance when starting (I once tried my friends guitar and I was like - WOW I can actually play nicely on this one!). So now I play with low action as a REVENGE thing probably -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

I actually set my strings quite high, a little over 2mm. I find it gives me better control, I'm not of that belief that the lower you get it, the faster you play

On my Fender and F style guitars I'm a touch higher than factory specs:
Bass side 5/64th's Treble side 5/64 or 6/64 I play .011 - .50 strings Gibson style: Bass side - between 5 and 7/64 Treble side - between 3 and 5/64 11 to 50s on the LPs too. *I adjust my pickups slightly lower than spec too. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

I didn't know the actual number. My tech told me I'm always a little higher than spec. So I looked up what 'spec' was and added approx 2/64s

yeah don't know the number either, but i like as low as possible without much buzz. I had to adjust my 8-string to get this result.
