Fret Buzz

[TimboSlice87]

I got new strings recently, figured id go with rotosounds for my fender geddy lee bass since they are the strings he uses. I asked the girl at GC for standard gauge, she gave me .45 65 80 105. I put the strings on, 3 of which I cut too short (because im a dumbass...lol.) EAD have about 1 1/2 windes around the posts.

Since I put the strings on, now I have the issues of fret buzz. The Geddy Lee comes with a "Badass Bridge". I have tried adjusting the action but it doesn't make much difference. Mainly the problem is the open A string.

Do I need different strings? perhaps a smaller gauge? I'm not sure what strings were on it when I got it brand new...im assuming a Fender brand. Please help!

Have a tech look at it. Probably needs a minor truss rod adjustment.

Could be a truss rod adjustment or a renegade fret. No harm in getting it set up..

I'd say truss rod too if there is buzz when you are hitting open notes then it would be a problem with the nut. But definitally have a tech look at it unless you hve the tools and experience to do it yourself.

Smaller guage would create MORE fret buzz IMO, a 105 set is med/heavy. What guages were on this prior? Try upping the saddles and/or adjusting the neck. Again, going to this guage of string should be the opposite effect of fret buzz
