Ou7shined Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Sounds like you need to loosen the [url="http://www.garywillis.com/pages/bass/bassmanual/relief4.html"]truss rod[/url]. Or you might have a raised fret somewhere. Worst case - new neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geilerbass Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 If loosening the truss rod doesn't work, it might need a fret-stoning - particularly if you're only getting buzz on one note on one string. Hopefully you don't have a warped neck - though I'm sure you'd be getting more buzzing if this was the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Your frets might need leveling out or, as once happened to me, you might have an unevenly wound string. Do you get the buzz when you change strings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
