Enoch Set up Specs

From tl bach on 10/14/2014 10:46:45 AM

I have an Enoch Model 100 and also a Tradesman Fretless. The "action" on both of these seem just a little high. Does anyone know what the factory specs are for the action? ( I currently have light strings on both of them)

Thanks,

Terry

Hi Terry, my fretted Tradesman came with a 5/8 bridge and the action is quite high. When I tried lights the action went up further due to less pressure on the head. Back on mediums now and I'm regularly playing up at the 12th-15th frets I know some people have fitted 1/2 inch bridges to bring the action down. Think a skin head will take it further down as well. I just got used to it in no time though. Love my Tradesman and would love to get the fretless version to partner it when funds allow.

Which reminds me must update my sig pic as I no longer own the Ramsey in it, The tradesman won, I love the sound of it.

Hey Terry, I used to set up the Tradesman with the action pretty high with a 5/8" bridge but I've been starting to set them lower lately. You can always try a 1/2" bridge and see if that works for you. Also if you are willing to ship me the banjo I'd be happy to see if I can get the action a bit lower for you.
Thanks to you and all of my customers.
Kevin
