String buzz 9th fret -e string only


Recommended Posts

Howdy! I've had my dean stylist hollow body bass for a while now. When I got it. , the action was very high . Last night, I lowered the action via the two thick screws on saddle area.

Since then , the bass plays great .. except for the fault above. Is a truss rod adjustment required?

Please help

Cheers

Doubt the truss rod needs a tweek, not if it's just one fret on one string.

First thing I would be checking is the height of the adjascent fret. Has it lifted slightly?

Get yourself a straight edge and place it across three frets, (the offending one and the neighbours on either side) see if it rocks. If it does, then you have a high fret.
A credit card makes a decent enough straight edge ;)
