    The Sudden Appearance of Buzzy E String

    This started Wednesday. Nothing til then. Only on the E string. To fix buzzy strings is probably quite simple, but as it's sudden and just the one string, I'm curious as to what may have caused it, just in case I need to adjust something specific, maybe down at the bridge? Bass is an EBMM SR4...

    Double Bass Buzzing on stopped note - buzz mysteriously disappears - what's going?

    I had my bass setup recently by a local luthier-player. The bridge was recut just a bit, which involved raising the right of the G relative to the other strings. (Action now at 5 - 8 mm) Not long after, the Bb right above open G started buzzing on pizzicato notes. My ear tells me that the...

    Fret Buzz help (with some detailed info!)

    Hi everyone! I recently purchased a Squire Vintage Modified V and am having some issues with fret buzz. For my setup I used automotive feeler gauges to set the relief of the neck at about 0.014"-0.015" as measured at the 8th fret. A capo was put on one and I depressed the B, E, and A strings...

    Bass nuts?

    Hi, I have an Ashton AB2 Bass and the nut is broken on it. I was hoping someone could direct me to a place where I can buy a new nut, or at the very least provide me with the dimensions, heights, etc so that I can make my own. Also, before the nut broke, the bass was out of use due to severe...

    Bass fart.

    First off, I'm not sure if this is in the right category (luthier's corner), but I'm looking for fixes, so I'm putting it here. So... My bass is farting. It's an issue I had since I recieved it. I don't mind it much, but it gets in the way sometimes. I'm a hard-hitting plucker, and my P bass...

    Amp buzz

    So I picked up a used amp yesterday. Its apeavey minx 110. Got a good price on it. I have a squier vintage modified 70s jazz bass. I am getting a heavy buzz from the amp. I am convinced its the amp as I played the bass in store and I have no buzz. It buzzes bad when the tones all the way...

    Active EMG pickups buzz when facing certain direction

    Just got a Schecter bass with Active EMG pickups. EMG 40J neck pickup, EMG 40DC bridge pickup. Only in my house, the bass hums like crazy when I'm in seated position. When facing the ceiling or floor, it is dead silent. Proximity to amp changes nothing. Touching strings changes nothing. I...

    Overdrive Pedal Buzz

    Hey, so I've been trying to trouble shoot some issues I have with my pedals. I've separated each and my delays and reverbs sound fine. However, my Morning Glory V3 has a ton of buzz. Which I thought was common to have a bit of feedback, but it's a lot. When I touch any of the metal parts...

    Buzz at one specific note (8th fret A string)

    Hey guys, My bass is pretty well set up right now, however i get a regular and decently loud fret buzz on the A string F (8th fret). Any idea how I could approach this without having to adjust the saddle height or truss rod? I am assuming the problem is a high fret, so the fret is actually what...

    Fret buzz - climate change? add or remove relief

    Buzz killingtin

    Since I started playing bass I have always had a heavy hand. In turn this has given me lots of dreaded fretbuzz. I find that unless my action at the 17th fret is 7/64 I get loads of buzz up and down the neck. Wen I set it to 7/64 at the 12th with .012 relief I get no buzz unless digging in deep...

    Fretless buzz — first "fret" only

    First off, yes I've searched for this topic. In general, I am pretty good at setting up basses. I recently acquired a new fretless 5-string (B E A D G) with dual truss rods and I'm struggling with a buzz on the first "fret" of the E string and A string (and sometimes D string). B and G are fine...

    Sensitive to EMF causing buzz - MTD 635

    A new to me MTD 635 has excessive sensitivity to EMF compared to other MTDs I've had. When I played it at gig with led lights it was so sensitive to the position my bass was held. Also at home when getting bass near my amp it starts to buzz like crazy. When I turn the treble down it tames it...

    Fret buzz with high action

I lowered the saddles a bit, but anytime it get even close to the action I've currently got on my Jazz bass (still a bit high, tbh) I get buzz like mad from the 8th fret up. Now, I'm...

    Mystery buzz from my Hartke VX215, upper 15"?

    So its coming from only one speaker, and sounds just like the buzz from a split, broken surround, or cone puncture, like a paper-like edge that's leaking, leaf stuck in a fan, etc. Its audible right on axis with the upper 15", and goes away if I hold down on the cone. I've looked over the...

    Fender Mustang D String Buzz?

    Hello everyone, I had my Fender FSR Mustang bass replaced today after I discovered the "new" one I bought was damaged. I've took it home and noticed that the saddles were a bit oddly setup for the radius of the neck. The D string saddle was flat, but the A saddle was at a 30 degree angle. After...

    Am I supposed to get a loud fret buzz when playing hard?

    Can't seem to eliminate the problem, it buzzes all over the neck on almost all the strings. I've added relief, removed relief, raised strings, lowered strings. It just rattles really loudly if I did in, and wondering if this is just something that's going to be impossible to remove, any...

    Thoughts on string buzz

    I know it is a matter of personal preference but more times than not, I come across demo videos where the bass has a noticeable buzz. Admittedly, I prefer my action to be buzz free and super clean so the string gets to breathe and I'm willing to sacrifice action height to get that. But, for...

    middle strings not playable past the 20th fret

    This is a weird issue I've never encountered before. I lowered the action on my Sandberg recently and now the 3 middle strings are flat against the frets past the 20th fret or so. Neck relief is set (roughly credit card thick) and as far as I know that shouldn't have a huge impact anyway since...

    Fretless buzz on 1 note

Everywhere else the setup is perfect. I have the action low, but I don't think it's silly low, the string height is at about...
