Default Guild/Taylor mini acoustic bass action height?

I just acquired a used Guild Jumbo Junior bass, which is a 23 3/4" scale acoustic guitar bass tuned to standard 4 string electric bass pitch. This Guild is very similar in design and size to the Taylor GS Mini acoustic bass and uses the same strings. The OE strings that make that pitch possible are special D'Addario phosphor bronze wound over multistrand nylon strings made for these instruments. I'm concerned the action might be a little high, even though I gather these need have higher actions due to the large vibrating movement of these strings. Does anyone has an idea of what a medium action should be at the 12th fret on this instrument? The Taylor version is reputed to rattle the strings off the fretboard more than the Guild, but maybe Guild just send theirs out with higher actions . Thanks, Max
