When talking about bass guitars, what does it mean when they say the action is low or high?

So what I want out, what is the “action” is?

   Action refers to how high or low the string are off of the neck. A :high” actions means that there is a big gap between the strings and the neck.

   the action is the distance from the strings to the fretboard

   low action would mean you barely have to press to make a clean note
