Rotosounds installed on Fender Jazz

[The Weed]

Hello all,

New member to TalkBass.

Just replaced factory installed strings on my Fender Geddy Lee Jazz with Rotosound medium strings (relatively smaller gauge). Looks like I need to readjust the the torsion rod as the action seems to be closer and getting fret buzz. I suppose this is typical when going to lower gauge strings.

Thanks,

The Weed

Quarter-turn of the truss rod should do the trick.

You need some relief in the neck. Turn the truss rod 1/8th to 1/4th of a turn clockwise.
