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. I don't mind to much playing with slightly higher action. Sometimes though when I try to learn a new fast song I feel the height holds me back a bit. Fenders specs for a jazz bass is 6/64 at the 17 fret. So it's not to much More than that but it feals like it when I play someone else's bass but I can't without the buzz. Any suggestions on technique setup or any other helpful tips would be much appreciated. Thanks ps how heigh is your strings at the 17 fret and how much relief do you use?
