Ou7shined Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Strange. I wonder if it's your t/r vibrating at a certain frequency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blademan_98 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Could be the nut? If it buzzes that end, maybe the slot is worn. Try packing it up a bit just to see. A new nut is not expensive but worth checking first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposed to help with intonation, but it's no different on my others. I would check the break angle between the nut and tuning post. Usually this helps with limited buzzing, if you can't increase it anymore then you may have to look at a new nut or just keep it padded. No need to spend money on a fancy nut, as long as it's solid fits the bass and is filed correctly it'll do the job 100% as well and any other.

Mornats Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I got one of my Bass Collections set up (truss rod, action, cleanout of the electronics bit) for £35 and this included a new custom-made brass nut to fit my string gauges. So it shouldn't be too expensive to get one replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Buzzing behind a fret (ie, towards the nut) can happen if the frets are worn unevenly (or not properly seated). A fret stoning (cheaper than a nut replacement) by a good technician/luthier will sort this out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, I don't live in Worcester anymore so can't use his great services anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
