Some string height questions

Sign in to disble this ad
I have been playing my bass for about a month, its a 2007 Geddy Lee Jazz bass. The strings are nice and low, but 2 weeks ago I bought some Curt Mangan Extra Light nickelwounds. They seem to rattle alot when im playing strong songs like "Laid to rest". Its on the top 95 gauge string. Should I get my truss rod adjusted? Thank you guys alot, you all are very helpful

Changing string guages may require a height and neck adjustment...
