How many of you have a decent amount of fretbuzz?

I recently set up my bass with a very straight neck, just a bit of relief. I set the strings low so the action is better. Its so much more comfy but I have fret buzz. Not horrible but I think it feels so much better. Has a nice MFD buzz to it. What do you have?

You like buzz? I've got a bass for you . . . frets all over the place . . . a slight twist to the neck, not unlike a Torzel twist . . . even buzzes at the nut and bridge . . . a pure beauty for the low, low, very low price of $849.95 shipped~!

But really . . . I strive for no buzz. Mwah maybe . . . buzz . . . no.

What's an MFD?

Yes, on my washburn 4 I have really low action, plus I string it with a 95-35 set and tune to D. Sounds really cool with overdrive or distortion.

little bit of buzz adds character to the sound IMHO.

If I dig in really hard during a part of a song, I'll get some, adds a little character with my jazz with flats.

my shortie P needs some new strings, I want to throw on some shortie flats, hopefully that'll help a bit.

a little fret buzz don't bother me none.

No buzz, no buzz, no buzz. I will spend hundreds with a tech if I have to. The only buzz I want is the buzz I make the bass have.
