What's my buzz problem?

Sign in to disble this ad
I have a MIM 92 Jazz that I have recently had setup by my regular guy, like two months ago. I havent played this bass in a while, dug it out yesterday, and I have a terrible buzz on the third fret of all my strings. Is this an action problem, a neck problem, both, neither? What do you all think?

It's very possible that the fret has adjusted due to humidity, neck settling, etc. That's what it sounds like to me, at least.

Did you check the neck relief first, to make sure? If it's a fret that needs dressing/re-seating, it's a simple job that your luthier can do and it won't cost much.

So check your neck relief first and, if it's fine, take it to your luthier and have him take a look.
