Fret Buzz Help (RESOLVED)

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey guys, I recently got a Hofner Contemporary Serious Violin Bass (had it for about 2 weeks now)

My problem isn't your regular pressing down on the fret and it buzzes issue...

My problem is that while in the middle of releasing the fret, there's a hard vibration and usually an audible buzz

It doesn't matter how fast I release, it always buzzes really hard when I let go

Imagine playing and after every note there being a sharp "BZT"

I don't think it's the action, I already adjusted it... I'm at the end of my ropes guys, it's driving my crazy. any ideas? :/

A guitar tech can fix that no worries.If you can afford it take it to someone that knows these things.
Ive had this prob & i fixed it by adjusting the trussrod.

Needs a complete set up, excessive bow or lack of relief(excessive flatness) can both cause this problem.
