String action?

What are most people using for string action? If you search online, Google says people target 2.4mm on low E bass side at 12fret, 1.6mm on high E treble side at 12 fret.

I put my Bass VI there (Fender, stock strings) and I get a lot fret buzz on the E,A,D at the higher frets (say 10 and higher)

I’ve adjusted the truss rod and I think it looks pretty good - dont really think I should continue modifying it.

Is everyone able to get their string action that low? I have to raise my bridge until the string action measures to 3.50 or 3.75mm on the low bass side to remove the fret buzz
