CORT BASS - STRING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT FOR BETTER PLAYABILITY

This Cort bass came into the workshop with a common issue: the string action was set too low, causing fret buzz and making the instrument feel less comfortable to play. While low action can be great for speed and comfort, there’s a fine balance between playability and clean tone — and this one needed a little fine-tuning.

I started by checking the neck relief and bridge setup to see exactly where the problem was coming from. After a few careful truss rod and saddle adjustments, I raised the string height just enough to eliminate the buzzing while keeping the action smooth and fast under the fingers.

The difference was immediate — the notes rang out clearly, and the bass felt much more responsive. It’s always satisfying to find that sweet spot where the instrument plays comfortably and sounds its best.

Bring Your Bass Back to Life

If your bass feels off, buzzes, or just doesn’t play the way it should, a proper setup can make all the difference.
