Fretbuzz?

[fsf347]

Alright, ever since I popped a my A string, then later tuned my E, D, and G string with an electric tuner, I have been getting a crazy amount of fretbuzz, and I have no idea why. Would new strings help maybe?

If you are only playing with 3 strings on your bass right now that is the problem. There is not enough tension on your neck.

+1 As I recall, each string places ~20+ lbs of force/stress on the neck.
