| Help: One dead note on my Birdsong
Sign in to disble this ad
Should I do anything about this? I changed strings on my 3 month old Cortobass last week. A day or two later I fine tuned the intonation and all was well.
Last night I noticed the action seemed a bit high in the mid and upper frets, so I performed a minor truss rod adjustment, about 1/8 turn to the right. I used the Jerzy Drozd Guide to walk me through. The action between the 7th and 9th frets when pressing the first and last fret went down just a bit. As I was checking out all the frets I found that the E string buzzes dead at the 19th fret. It has a slight buzz at fret 20 but is fine everywhere else, above and below. None of the other strings have any fret buzz.
The thing is I never play the E that high up the neck so I don't know if this is a new thing or not. But I find it odd that the 19th fret would be so dead while the 20, 21, etc. is not.
Should I let it go or can something be done to correct this? Now that I know its there its bugging me. I should also mention that the weather around here has seesawed between extreme humidity and very dry more than once in the last few weeks.
Thanks in advance.
