| Speaking of which, I was wondering if what I did to lower my action was appropriate. I play a Yamaha RBX765A (5 string that had painfully high action when I bought it.) I lowered the bridge saddles, leaving the lower strings at slightly higher action than the higher strings. Unfortunately, this caused buzzing around some of the middle frets (3rd and 7th most of all, I think.) I assumed this meant the strings were too close to the frets because the neck was bowing up. This could be solved by tightening the truss rod slightly, right?
So I'm guessing a good procedure would be: lower the string action at the bridge; if any buzzing results from strings resting on frets, tighten the truss rod; wait a couple of days to see if the results are adequate, if not, tighten a little bit more (my bass' truss rod only seems to want to do about 6 "hours" worth of turning, that is if I put the wrench in I can do about 180 degrees or half a rotation before it becomes too loose or too tight. So I'm guessing I should turn in "one hour" or 20 degree increments.)
