lots of buzz on a fretless


Recommended Posts

Sounds like your neck has a little bit of back-bow & needs the truss-rod loosened just a tad.

Providing the nut is cut evenly it can be almost down to the fingerboard on a fretless.

Hold down a string where the 1st fret would be, and also where the 17th fret would be & look at the side of the neck & the clearance between the fingerboard & the string round about the 9th-12th fret.

There should be some clearance there - hardly any is OK, but some nevertheless.

Once you have that. by adjusting the truss rod, adjust the height of the bridge saddles to taste & you ought to get a better action.
