Bass is a new Fender Jazz Elite...Didn't notice it in the store before buying it, but there is an annoying fret buzz on the low E. It only happens when I finger the seventh fret. When I do that I get a buzz rattle coming from the 5th fret. Im taking it somewhere to get setup and hopefully the...

I have a squier jazz. However, on the 2nd 3rd and 4th fret on the E string there is loads of rattling. How do I fix this?

bass, has suddenly developed a kind of annoying buzz.. well really annoying.. Im not sure 100 percent if this was always here of if I just managed to avoid playing that particular fret and sting all this time lol. this may sound weird, I hope im explaining it right but I started getting major...

I pulled out my old Yamaha BB404 and decided to get it all cleaned up, which hadn't been played in years. I bought some of the cheapest strings on Amazon ($10 pack 4 strings) and set the bass up perfectly by the books to specs with the correct neck relief and action (Yamaha officially told me it...

Hey, everyone. So I just received my new (to me) bass, and it has some pretty nasty fret buzz on the first 5-7 frets. The seller has pretty good feedback... so I doubt he sent me a lemon. Also, this is the 2nd time I've received a bass with bad fret buzz on the first few. Could this be the truss...

Hey guys! So I recently bought a brand new Ibanez SRFF805. Absolutely love the bass! But I have realized that there seems to be constant fret buzz from about the 9th fret to the 12th fret on all strings. I noticed it when I bought it at the store, but didn't think anything of it because it...

Curious thing just happened to me... Playing a groove that has a double stop on the 7th fret, 1st and 4th string. I hit it, and I'm getting really bad fret buzz on the G-string. I try hitting both notes in sequence - no buzz. The only time I get buzz is when I press both strings down. I even...

So, I used to be quite particular about this, but not so much anymore. I don't mean every fret all day long buzzes, but minor buzzing now and again seems almost normal from all that I've heard. So, what say you?

Hi Have just tried Rotosound Trubass on one of my basses, I was really pleased to find that this bass that is usually a little out with intonation is now strangely pretty much bang on however I have found that there is fret buzz at 12th and 15th fret of the A and D string that is not there with...

I just bought a bass and when setting it up I realized the bass has bad fret buzz on the higher frets. It starts around fret 14/15, and it's almost like a "fretting out" sound. The note doesn't ring out, it gets cut out. And if I drop the saddles even a little, the note doesn't even exist and...

I just got myself a new fender jazz bass opal white. It's very nice but my E string has alot of fret buzz. If I play on the bridge pickup it's fine but if I play on the neck pickup the buzz is very intense. Is it normal or should I go see someone to adjust it?.

Hello and sorry if this has been asked and answered before, I tried searching but nothing was really like my problem. So I have this Music Man SUB USA (one of those older ones, don't remember the exact year) which I bought used. It has significant fret buzz only on the 10th fret of the A...

Before I start, I have a Fender Aerodyne jazz. The A string buzzes on the 2nd or 3rd fret when I pluck the open string. I've checked the frets, they seem to be level. No other strings buzz, just the open A. I've heard this is somewhat common, just looking for some advice.

Hi everyone, I'm pretty new to this forum, so hi! I just bought an Epiphone EB-3, pretty satisfied, play really well. The only problem, I got major fret buzz on it. Almost on every fret there is a small or pretty big buzz. Would like to know what should I do. Cheers, JC

I just got a new Squier bass from the Fender website and the 1st frets on each string buzzed pretty bad so I adjusted the height of the string and the buzzing is gone except for the G string. The buzzing won't go away on the 1st fret. All the other fret on the G string sound great except for the...

I recently picked up a MIM Fender P ("Noir") and restrung it with La Bella DTFs. After giving it a basic set-up (relief, action, intonation), the G string at the 3rd fret has developed a buzz. When I fret at the 1st, 2nd and 4th frets, no buzz. Could this be a high 4th fret that the string is...

I just bought a Squier Jaguar Bass a week ago, it sounds very nice, but for some reason i can't get the action as low as I want because it starts making some buzz on the high frets. Low frets and middle frets don't buzz, only high frets What should I do to get a lower action while getting rid of...

hi there, I need your help here. My fender P bass (american standard) has a fret buzz in the 5th fret, G string. When I play hard it is noticeable. I wanted to lower the strings (currently 3/32 in G string and E string) but I can't without having that annoying buzz. The neck is straight (0.12...

I recently purchased a squier jazz bass and have had many problems with it. To start off, the fret buzz is very bad. There are also many dead frets. I am looking to upgrade to a bass in the 400-600 dollar range without fret buzz. Any suggestions?

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...

Hi All, Went to play my Mustang bass yesterday, hadn't played it since about Monday (was playing my Jaguar bass), it has a little fret buzz where there previously was none, I am assuming climate change is to blame , there was some heavy rain a couple days ago and it has been fairly cold, there...

Hey all, I'm fairly new to the setup game, but I just bought a new Mustang bass, and the action is quite high. 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...

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...

I bought a Fender Jazz Bass Standart American and when I play it unamplified I have fret buzz. Should I try to adjust the truss rod or the saddles?

Hi I have a Peavey Milestone II (p bass copy) that I adjusted the truss rod on yesterday to lower the action on the upper frets a bit. However, now I have fret buzz, but only on the 13th and 15th frets on the A string only. The rest of the frets and strings do not buzz. What gives? Thanks!

I have a stingray bass with fret buzz in some places. I like having some buzz to create "a metal tone". But how much fret buzz is considered too much? Also random question, i have a electro harmonix fuzz pedal and it requires a 9v battery in it. How much does it last?

My Roscoe LG3005 had a little buzz in the upper register so I carried it to Roscoe Guitars today. The buzz was coming due mostly to the string height being insanely low. When a guitar player says your strings are low, your strings are low. Keith put it in the PLEK Station and ran the program...

Just took shipment of a new Ibanez SR500. Playing normally, every fret past the point where the neck meets the body is buzzing. Could this be remedied by slightly raising the saddles at the bridge? Intonation is and action are dead on, so I don't want to perturb the factory setup too much...

Is there any way to have low action with no or minimal fret buzz? It seems like it doesnt really work for me

Hello, I have constant fret ringing whenever I play the Open A string. Is this a truss rod issue? I have a 2015 Fender American Standard P-Bass. Thank-you.

Got a new bass. Paid for a full set up. All 4 strings, E,A,D and G buzz at the first Fret. Every other fret is fine. Is this Kosher? What is the remedy? Adding Video to OP -

My bass has a highly figured neck and while gorgeous to look at, it's finicky during Ohio's weather changes. I've been watching the truss rod on this thing. Yesterday, I took all the strings off and loosened up the truss rod all the way to make sure the neck was straight. When I woke up it was...

Anybody know what strings and gauge Dave of Dorje uses? i've noticed he gets pretty usable fretbuzz but also plays with quite a heavy hand to get the buzz. Does he achieve this through the use of higher gauge strings with lower action? i've tried to reproduce the same sound but i'm currently...
