Does anyone know how to raise the strings on a Squier Jazz bass?
Google's not helping.
If not, what's your favourtie bass line?

And yet, I'm entirely satisfied by this response.

Lift the bass above your head
That should do it.

On the bridge there are tiny tiny allan key bolts on the struts that hold the strings (got springs on the screws)
Screw those and it will rase the strings.

Can you go too far?
I don't want to break it.

Nah, don't be silly, it's only a screw.

You can adjust the truss rod if the neck is bowing outwards but do that by quarter turns clockwise but that's only in drastic cases of fret buzz.

Awesome thanks.
Now I just need to get a hex key small enough.
Also, should all the strings be at the same height or staggered and if so, which way?
( the_rhyme_minister has a little bit of gold and a pager, Tue 19 May 2009, 14:15, archived)

All the same height.
But it all depends on personal preference. As long as there is no fret buzz it doesn't matter. Some people like high action (me) and some like them quite close to the fret board (slap bassists)

Just make sure that the string saddles at the bridge are in this position in this picture (e string further back etc) This is to compensate for thicker strings not making buz
