I recently got a new set of DR lowRideres for my Ibanez srx400. Started to fiddle with my saddle and a little bit of the truss just to make it straight and bowed (slightly, like barely noticiable) and i have come across a problem that i can't figure out how to fix uneless i make my action uncomfortably high.
On the 8th fret of all the strings its buzzing off of the 9th and 10th fret ever so much and its driving me crazy. Its not like a low buzz but a really high pitched one because its barely touching it..

any ideas i thought maybe more bow would fix it but i tried that and it didn't work.

Any suggestions?

EDIT: i would like to keep the action low...... and what is your action set to?
Thanks

The strings are not the issue unless your neck had been set up for strings with a different tension (nickle vs. stainless). If you are seeing a tension issue, you need to adjust the truss... And if you're not comfortable doing THAT, take it to a shop. Spend the $75 to set it up. Trust me, you won't regret it.
