23rd fret, neck buzz!

After playing a bit on the fretless this morning, I just realized that there is a huge amount of buzz on the 23rd fret of the A and D string...and it's only when played right on the spot. Everywhere else along the neck sounds great. Any ideas of how to kill this?

I certainly hope no one ever puts a pea under your mattress.

Your fretless has frets?

Probably the fretboard has some curve about the 23th fret. Get it fixed by a pro

In relation to a fretted bass...and I guess it'd really be called neck buzz?

Peculiar... The string could be too tight, or you may not be pressing hard enough. If your fretless has a bridge that can adjust the action, try lowering that.

Lined or unlined fretless? Sometimes the lines on a lined fretless stand a little "proud" and can cause unwanted noise.

break out the belt sander and start sanding

j/k it sounds like it could be the lines like was just mentioned...
