HELP!

If I set my main bass (Ibanez SR520) up to how Ibanez recommend it to be set up I get MASSIVE fret buzz on the first couple of frets. It's so bad that the note I play can barely be heard or will last a very short amount of time.

Does anyone have any ideas why it's so bad? Even professional set-ups haven't sorted the problem out...

i'm with dandelion... presumably - as your teacher says the nut is too high - there is no buzz with open strings ??

not sure about your 'professional' set up then :)

Yep, no open string buzz, just first and second fret.
I've since set it up myself and got it better than it was but for some reason I still can't get it quite how I want. Ah well, I'll just keep fiddling till I get it close to how I want it :)
Thanks for the help guys!
