Na stránce http://www.fender.com/support/setup/basssetup.php najdete, co doporučuje Fender. Nechce se mi to překládat, ale myslim, že to všichni pochopěj. Jinak se mi moc nezdá, že by při nižších snímačích víc hrálo dřevo, nechápu, proč by to tak mělo bejt, magnet snímače přece reaguje na strunu, ne na dřevo.
Pickups
Setting pickups too high can cause a number of unusual occurrences. Depress strings at last fret. Using 6" (150 mm) ruler, measure the distance from the bottom of the 1st and 4th strings to top of the pole piece. Rule of thumb--distance should be greatest at the 4th string neck pickup and closest at the 1st string bridge position. Follow the measurement guidelines from the chart as starting points. The distance will vary according to the amount of magnetic pull of the pickup. Note: Larger gauges of strings need wider vibrational allowances. If you have a 5-string bass or are using a heavier gauge of string, your measurements will need to be increased accordingly.
