Couldn't agree more!
ANy pro would see my setup and faint! The strings don;t even follow the camber of the neck by the book. If they did my bass would feel wrong.
Set it up how you like it. Obviously, follow neck camber slightly but don't feel you must be pro about it. Go high, go low, go in between.
Personally I like medium action.
I used to play sky high but for tapping that just doesn't do. And low action sucks for slap, no space for velocity to build between.
I played my mates guitars that he's had "Professionally setup" and the feel wrong to me.
WAY too low and I'm sorry but the frets buzz, that ain't pro!
Just play around with it.
There are no numbers, just feel.
Basically, like music is.
Make your bass feel like a part of you, not like a mathematical equation.
