How to raise string height on a acoustic bass?

I have an old Ibanez acoustic bass with loads of string buzz(nasty). I understand and have setup my electric basses, but how to setup an acoustic with no saddles and no truss rod is the question. The neck dosent appear bowed either. Any help is appreciated.

PSYCHO is right but - You'll need to either shim the saddle up or cut a new saddle for that ABG. Any competent guitar tech should be able to help you out.
