That makes a lot of sense now, this is my first 5 string bass and I'd never encountered that issue whenever I was restringing my other instruments. That seems to have fixed it though, thanks so much for the help.
Hi, first time posting here. I'm restringing my EHB1005MS bass for the first time since I bought it and after putting the B string on, the first three frets have incredibly bad fret buzz, with the first fret not even playing a note. This wasn't an issue before restringing and I don't know what...
